    I have a 2555, I don't know the name of the file that you need but I can can send you the file if we can identify the file name. The 2555 and 2597 have the same file structure. The 2597 has more features. How did you delete it? Did you do this when the unit was connected to the PC?

    Hi Norman, I have the file. I tried posting it as a download on our website but when you try to download it, it opens up the browser and displays the file as a html webpage. Can you give me an email address to send to? You can post it as text... like this: sharcnet-usa AT sharc DOT NET

    I posted the file here: I think you would have to copy the text in the file and then save it under the correct file name. If you give me your email address, I'll just email it to you.

Connect your unit up to the PC and run Garmin's webupdater program. It will scan your unit and tell you what updates are available and if you deleted a file, it will allow you to re-download it. You can find the program here: http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=999-99999-27

I have the nuvi 205W series in a foreign language and can't get it back to english

  • Press TOOLS (The spanner symbol in the right bottom corner of the screen that shows WHERE TO and VIEW MAP)
  • Press SETTINGS (The spanner symbol) or LOCALE (the blue symbol) on models that don't have a SETTINGS symbol.
  • Press LANGUAGE (The lips symbol)
This takes you to a screen with 3 items; VOICE, TEXT LANGUAGE and KEYBOARD
Press each in turn. The VOICE will give you the option to select a voice by name and country. Select one that's from an English speaking country to get the voice prompts in English.

Press TEXT LANGUAGE and select English or American English if you're in the USA.

Press KEYBOARD and Select English. This should solve your problem.

Garmin Nuvi 1200 does not have a qwerty keyboard, I would like to know where i could download one for the system

I have a Nuvi 1100 and I added the qwerty keyboard editing the british english keyboard file(en_GB.kbd). Open it with wordpad and change the "true" with a "false" like this: <group name="QWERTY" priority="1" wide_screen_only="false">
Then, go to tools, settings, language and change it to british english and you are done!
