My garmin1250 keeps freezing when it is on speedo . how do I stop it from doing this
Okay. I have to explain what happens when you use the speedometer option. While it is off, the GPS use using less cycles per minute to get the location from the satellites and sometime from ground beacons. When in speedo mode, it now needs more processor, memory, graphics speed and the power needed for the receiver. Now the unit is running about twice the cycles per minute to provide an accurate location to judge your speed.
How to work around this.
Best answer: Dont use this option! Its simple and you dont have to burn your noodle worrying about it.
2. If you must use it, then go into your display and map options and turn the map details and quality down. This will free up memory and CPU speed.
3. Turn tracking off. This will free up memory and CPU speed.
4. Use Garmin's mapping program to only load necessary map locations.This will free up memory space.
5. Be sure you are updated to the latest map data and firmware.
6. This can also be caused by the location of the GPS in the vehicle. On the main screen of most Garmin's, you press and hold on the corner near the icon showing the GPS signal. It will go to a more detailed screen of the satellites and signal strength. Stay in one place in an open area like a parking lot. Let the GPS locate itself first. Then relocate it where you can easily see it and you see 40% of signal or more from 4 or more satellites.
Have fun with what I gave you and good luck. VicFixx
The screen will not come on once I replaced the battry on a 265w garmin
Most likely you have pulled the LCD flex ribbon cable partially out from its socket on the board. There is a locking latch at the connector that must be GENTLY pried up. Pull out the ribbon cable, reseat it into the connector as far as it will go and press down on the latch across the entire surface until you hear it click. Do this with the power off. To insure that the unit is off, disconnect the battery and reconnect it. Do not push the power button until the flex cable has been reseated and locked down.

How can I Delete an old map in the memory of a Garmin nuvi 765T GPS Receiver.
You can delete an old map by connecting the unit up to your PC, using a USB to mini-USB cable. Once the Nuvi shows up as a valid drive letter in windows, double click on the drive and then go to the Garmin directory. Look for the file named gmapprom.img. It should be a file near 1 GB. Right click on the file and select delete.
This will delete the map. Warning, once you do this, your GPS will no longer function and you will need to install a new map.
Before you delete it, always make a backup of the map file on your PC.
Once you are finished, be sure to SAFELY remove the drive in Windows BEFORE you remove the USB cable.

Garmin nuvi 255w missing postcode search
On my Nuvi 200, after "Where To?", you have to select "Address". My instruction book says: 2.Change the state, country or province if necessary. 3.Touch "Spell City", enter the city/postal code, and touch "Done". Select the city/postal code in the list. (Not all map data provides postal code searching). If you are unsure of the city, touch "Search All". There are further steps, but "Depending on the version of maps loaded on your nuvi, the button names can change and some steps could be ordered differently".
