Connect your Nuvi to your computer with a USB connector.

Go here: https://buy.garmin.com/support/productSupport/productSupport.faces?productId=13430

Click "Go to My Dashboard". It will ask you to install a program. After you've installed it, it will analyze your Nuvi and continue to "My Dashboard".

Click "Register Now".

You can also upload any firmware updates from this page.

Testimonial: "Yes, thank-you for this support! Especially for first time experiences."

    Thanks pegasusmail
    You saved me! I could not figure out how to register my Garmin Nuvi, your instructions were easy to follow. I would not have been able to register it without your awesome directions!

SOURCE: garmin nuvi system software missing

I can help you reset and fix your Garmin Nuvi 265W.

Getting stuck on the flashing Garmin logo, or a message about not finding any maps, are indications that the firmware / system software inside your GPS has been corrupted.

There are three steps to take to get your Nuvi 265W 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.

Does this Nuvi 265W for $150.00 has the lifetime maps?

Hi.

No it doesn't. Garmin devices have one free map update included when you buy it new. You need to register your product online to get it.

You can purchase lifetime map updates on garmin.com or buy one upgrade at a time.

Would you like to back up a copy of your Garmin Nuvi 265W Favorites and Waypoints?

Backup and Restoration Procedure for Favorites:

  1. From the Nuvi drive, copy '/Garmin/GPX/current.gpx' to a backup location on your computer.
  2. After a hard reset or loss of data, copy your backed up 'current.gpx' from your computer back to the '/Garmin/GPX/' folder on the Nuvi, but be sure to rename it 'temp.gpx'.
  3. On the next power cycle, the Favorites will be read from 'temp.gpx' into the non-user accessible memory area on the Nuvi where they are actually stored.
I hope that helps.
