Can not find a screen with several satelites on my Nuvi 205.

Restore the device, usually the garmin Gps have a little button in the back.

Try a different power cord. The unit thinks it's connected to a computer for some reason.

To perform a Master Reset on the nuvi 200, 205, 465, 500, 600, 700, 705, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400 or 1600 series device:
Note: A master reset will erase all waypoints or favorites and will restore your unit to the default factory settings. If you would like to back up your favorites you can find instructions to do so here.

1. Start with the unit OFF and unplugged from power
2. Touch and hold the lower right corner of the screen with an index finger or the eraser end of a pencil
3. Continue touching and holding the lower right hand corner of the screen then power the unit ON
4. Release the power button when the device powers ON
   • You will see a new message: Do you really want to erase all user data?
5. Remove your finger from the touchscreen when this message displays
6. Touch Yes

The device will automatically reset. Follow the on screen prompts then place your device in an area with a clear view of the sky until it acquires satellites.

Please be sure the Operating system is up to date.

I recommend you replace the firmware and system software using webupdate. Updates in the Nuvi 205 firmware has increased its satellite reception and accuracy.

I hope that helps.

When your Garmin Nuvi 205 stops working or behaves strangely, there are two steps you can take yourself to try and get it going again:

1. Perform a Hard Reset,
2. Run WebUpdater to reinstall that firmware.

I hope that helps.

You can restore the Nuvi 205 system software to its factory condition by running Garmin's WebUpdater service. You may also want to try a hard reset of your Nuvi.
