HI,

I have a Garmin nuvi 255W satnav unit that was bought recently from an electronic surplus store with the original software installed. When I checked the time displayed, the unit showed that it was 1 hour behind than the current time. I am in the Eastern time zone. Also, the World Clock time for different countries was also off, and the date showed January 30, 2001 a couple of days ago.

Hi,
I have a Garmin nuvi 40LM with life-time map updates. I have updated the maps, firmware, and software updates many times via GarminExpress.
What I want to do is a backup of my maps, and system files from the garmin device on to my PC hard drive.
However, when I enable hidden items on Windows and I view the Garmin folders there are no map files or \.System folder available in the \Garmin folder. ...

Hi all,
I have an older Garmin Nuvi 255W satnav unit that I want to do some map updates. Unfortunately, this unit does not have Lifetime map updates. This has been confirmed with Garmin Express. The installed map is from 2011.
How can I manually update this unit with updated newer maps? Also, I want to install the new maps on a 32GB microsd card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
Sorry if I'm being a little special here but I'm quite new to Garmin.

Yes you can put it on an sd card inside a folder called Garmin
If the .img file is unlocked, the GPSmap will read the maps, if not you will need to unlock it or get an unlock code that you can place in a file alongside the .img file

Hello,

After pressing the switch, garmin appears for a moment and goes out. When connected to the PC, lego also appears, but immediately goes out over and over again.

Hello,
Sorry for NooB quesion.
I have a Garmin 2595LM that is up to date with US/Can/Mex maps since it has lifetime map updates.
When the GPS starts, it says: nuvi 2595 Copyright 2016. I wonder if the firmware needs updating or is that how it should show? If it needs a firmware update, is there a way to manually update or would it have updated via Garmin Express software? TIA

Edit: Thanks you, my ...
