SOURCE: nuvi 205w LCD screen replacement needed.

Your only reasonable solutions are:

1) Send it back to Garmin for repair, which will probably cost you more than the unit is worth, or...

2) Check CraigsList or other places for good deals. The prices on these things have been in nose-dive mode for months and you're liable to find a very good deal for very little money. (I just bought a StreetPilot C330 for $50 from CraigsList last week.)

SOURCE: Nuvi 205w won't read upgraded map

You HAVE to go through software support as this is an issue with the map. They told me it is because the map KEY is wrong, it is only for the united states, but the map is ALL of north america. The wait time is incredibly long, I have been waiting for over an hour, such bad service

SOURCE: Nuvi 205W keeps rebooting.

Your unit most likely has a firmware error, which could be due to a corrupt file. To solve it you yourself can try to update the firmware when connecting to the pc, if the unit cannot stay on enough for this to be performed, your unit will have to be sent in to service.

Nuvi 205w screen won't light- any ideas? it's brand new and fully charged. I can tell it's on, because it generates sounds when I touch the screen.

If you can't see anything then it is a hardware issue. Return for replacement as soon as possible.

If you can see faint images in the background then your screen is just too dim. You will have to try to navigate the dim screen to the settings menu. Click on the Tools icon, bottom right of main screen. Click on "settings" then "display". Select brightness and adjust.

One other suggestion is try an update. Plug the unit into your PC and run garmin webupdater. Once done the screen may light up but its a long shot. Here is the webupdater link.

My nuvi 205w doesn't speak street names.. Can't find setting to activate. Garmin website no help.

The Nuvi 205W does not have TTS (Text to Speech) capability. You would have to purchase a higher-up model to have this feature. Please see link: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=13432#specsTab Look under FEATURES SECTION: - Jim SHARCNET-USA http://www.sharcnet-usa.com

Screen asks to do i want to erase data? how do I clear this?

Hi

You can reset your Nuvi by pushing the RESET button on the bottom of the unit. If your Nuvi does not have a RESET button, then slide the Power key to the on/off position and hold it for 8-10 seconds which will reset the unit. Please check this User Manual for future assistance.

Need to be able to view text directions not just map

When your directions map comes up after you have entered your desination and selected GO, simply touch the green bar at the top of your screen. That will bring up turn-by-turn text directions.
