Hi, I've been trying to register our new nuvi 255w

Hi!

BEFORE you try to log in to their website, you MUST create an account.
Here's the link to that page:
https://my.garmin.com/mygarmin/registrationGettingStarted.htm

Under My Garmin sign in, there's a "Don't have an account? Create one"

Put your full name, email addy, a username, password (6 character minimum) and confirm password in the appropriate fields. THEN you'll be in business to register your product!

Hope this is helpful to you.
Good Luck!

We are trying to register our 255w Garmin product, however, it seems like we are going in circles. It won't recognize our password, then it won't recognize our username, then it says our password has...

I would first clear your cookies in your web browser.....

Try to connect again

All Garmin GPS systems are Registered wih Garmin to unlock the map data, so every owner has to call to get their gps' working.

If you say you Registered your product you can give them your Serial number and personal info so they can help you out and delete the account it was under.

So if it didn't work the first time and they have no records of it, all you would need to do now is to Re-Register

I am trying to update my garmin 255w and not getting anywhere. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Help

To update the maps you connect the satnav to your computer. If you haven't registered your satnav already you need to do so first. Go to www.garmin.com. Select your country and then click on myGarmin. If your satnav is already registered skip to the next paragraph. If it's not registered click on Register Your Garmin Product. When registering you'll be asked to create a username and password. Write them down and keep them safe as you'll need them anytime you update your maps.

When you have registered your satnav, or if it's already registered, Click on myGarmin, enter your username and password and log in. Click on myMaps. If there's a map update available it will say so beside the map name. Click on Get Update and follow the prompts.

To update the software, connect your satnav to your computer, download and install webupdater from http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=999-99999-27 if you haven't already done so. When it's installed it will search for updates. Follow the prompts.

I have received the lifetime update card for my Garmin 255W. Now what do I do next? Apparently I need a username & password. Where do I do that?

When you register your satnav at www.garmin.com you select a username and password. If you haven't already done so you'll need to connect your satnav to your pc to register it. If you have and have forgotten the username and password you'll have to contact Garmin Support.

Can't sign-in at My Garmin

The problem must have been a glitch on the Garmin website. Tried to sign-in today and it worked OK.

The information may be in the confirmation email. If not email them. As long as they have your email address they should have your password.
