I cannot find a reset button on my nuvi 250w. Where is it? (Owners manual is lost)

Hi,

in case you don't know how to reset your garmin nuvi, you can follow the steps below: There are two types of reset;

Performing a Standard Reset

1. Slide the power switch all the way to the left (with the Nuvi's screen facing you).
2. Hold the switch in the position for at least eight seconds.
3. Push the switch to the right to power the Nuvi back on.

Performing a Factory Reset

1. Turn your Nuvi off by sliding the power switch to the left.
2. Press your finger against the bottom right corner of the touchscreen. Hold your finger in this position.
3. Slide the power switch to the right to turn the Nuvi back on. Continue to hold you finger against the screen until you see the factory reset prompt. Tap "Yes" to perform the factory reset.


Take care.

How do make the gps announce the street name to

Neither the Nuvi 250W nor the Nuvi 205W have Text to Speech (which is the feature that allows the unit to speak the street names), so you cannot make yours speak street names. I'm sorry.

I turn my gps on and it lights up and says it is

Sounds like it isnt charged. Also make sure that the rear mini USB jack isnt loose or broken, preventing the battery from being charged. Please see this link:

Nuvi 250w keeps shtting off when i try to turn it on. Batteries are charged

It is possible that the unit says its charged and everything appears fine however if the battery dielectric has perished as soon as its under load it will turn off you need to replace the rechargable battery. This needs to be done by a Garmin Dealer.

Voice activated for streets

The Nuvi 250 and 250W is not capable of Text to speech. Please see this link to confirm:

The Nuvi 250 and 250W can only say Turn Left or Turn Right. It can not speak the street

Won't stay on

Have you installed anything lately? Do you have any sd card installed? Usually this is the cause for it to crash. There is a reset on the bottom of the nuvi, when it locks up blank, press the reset button and see what happens...
