Frozen on logo

Hi. Today I started my Nuvi for the first time and tried to download a map onto it (not sure if I did it correctly). Now the GPS is stuck on the logo when I plug it into the computer. It works normally when not plugged in. But I still can't figure out how to download and install a map of Hungary! Please help! Thanks, Shelley

I had a 200 W Nuvi with the same problem. Luckily it happened with the first 3 months, so i could return it to Garmin under warranty for a free replacement

SOURCE: Nuvi 200w map download and sd card

Guys and or ladies... I know that you have to create a folder named "GARMIN" in the sd card so the maps can be recognize. Maybe this solves your problem. Let me know if it works.

SOURCE: garmin nuvi 5000 wont turn on.

Your nuvi 5000 does NOT have a internal battery and that means that you cannot operate it unless it is connected to a 12 volt power source. Connecting it to your computer via USB allows you to install map updates, check for firmware updates, etc, but you will not be able to use it as a gps while it is connected to the computer. There is nothing wrong with your gps.
To use your gps in the home you need to purchase a 12 volt adapter, there are several types, plug the adapter into your wall outlet and connect your gps to it. If you can sit near a window it will help in picking up the satellite signal. Just keep in mind that you cannot connect the 12 volt power supply and use the usb cable at the same time. Enjoy your gps.

HI not to good on compt. my 1300 series turns on says lpading maps then powers off tried 2 methods of re booting joe kane thanks

A Garmin Nuvi 1300 that won't start, freezes on 'loading maps,' or is acting erratically is symptomatic of having corrupt firmware.

To correct this, I recommend backing up your favorites, clearing all user data, and if it still is stuck, then updating your Nuvi firmware.

Follow these three steps to take to get your Garmin Nuvi 1300 running like new:

  1. Back up your Favorites.
  2. Perform a Hard Reset.
  3. Download and then run Garmin WebUpdater to replace its firmware / system software.

I hope that helps.

Hi, I have a garmin nuvi 700 series. I was playing with some maps today and had to remove the device from the usb several times to check the maps. around 3-4 in 10 minutes. Later the device refused to...

Hi,

if you removed the device without stopping it, or before it had finished transfering data. it could have shorted out, or damaged the internal data. try hard-resseting it if possible. remove any memory card that may have corrupt or incomplete data on ( which will stall the device from starting )
Try powering the device from another source ( Car-Charger Or Mains Adaptor )

After trying to install new maps, Garmin nuvi 350 don't start

Look near the SN # and press the reset button.

or

with the garmin off, hold down the right bottom of the screen and turn the garmin on, it will then ask you if you want to perform a hard reset. Choose yes and that should fix your problem.
