I bought a Garmin nuvi 57 LM to use in Thailand. Can I change language in English because instructions in the manual are in Thai.

Manual is attached. You should be able to change the language setting in the 57 LM under settings/language and keyboard. https://static.garmin.com/pumac/nuvi_57_58_67_68_OM_EN.pdf

I know nothing, not even how to turn my new Garmin nuvi 57 on, then I was told to register it, please help!

The power button is normally on the top of left corner of the bezel. Make an account on Garmin, and there is an area for you to register your device there.

I have a new Garmin NUVI 57 LM. I have it plugged into my computer to charge. How long should it take to get charged?

Charging via a PC is not the quickest way to charge a GPS because many USB ports can not supply enough current, so the battery will take longer to charge. Using an AC adapter is a better way. Leaving the unit to charge over night should be fine. The way to tell if the GPS is fully charged is to look at the battery icon on the main screen of the GPS. It consists of 4 bars. 4 bars = fully charged. 3 bars = 75%, 2 bars = 50% and 1 bar = 25%.

How do I turn on my Garmin Nuvi?

Go to Garmin and download and install Garmin Express, Plug your GPS into your PC. The GPS should power on and Garmin Express should identify it and tell you of any updates. If the GPS does not power on (it should go into usb mode), then contact Garmin for warranty work. You can also check the power adapter in your vehicle. If the red light does not come on, the adapter either has a blown fuse or went bad, causing your GPS battery to be discharged. It is quite possible that your battery is discharged. You might leave it plugged into your PC overnight if the battery is dead.

My garmin nuvi 2225 will not acquire satellites since I brought it to Europe. I loadd maps for the area but it can not find its position.

If the garmin can reach satellites in North America, it will reach satellites anywhere in the world as long as it has a clear line of site to the satellites. Depending where you are, the satellites can be higher or lower in the sky. This means that the garmin in your vehicle may not be able to see the satellites how you have it positioned in your vehicle. Try finding the satellites outside of your vehicle while in Europe. If you can, then the problem is positioning in your vehicle. The satellites are all the same kind no matter where you are.

When encountering errors such as "No Map Data Available" and Garmin Express does not recognize your Garmin nuvi, check to see if your Garmin nuvi is out of storage space from your computer. Solution related to the fact that when brought up as the E: drive in windows there were 0 bytes free space on the Garmin nuvi. To get Garmin Express to recognize a unit which is full, do a search on the Windows Drive (E:) for "gmap" then choose "Open file location" This will get into the hidden ".system" directory. From there, delete the largest file map, such as "gmapprom" (or move this file to your hard drive). Afterward, reboot your computer to have Garmin Express software recognize your Garmin nuvi. On older units, also purchase a microSDHC card to be able to store the newest maps, such as the US & Canada 2.6Gb map file, which will not fit on the internal unit alone or a 2Gb card. The Garmin Express software will recognize 4Gb to 32Gb microSDHC Class 10 or UHS-I cards formatted to FAT32 and install the newest maps automatically to them. Some have reported that 4Gb cards are not large enough. I had used a 16Gb SanDisk Ultra PLUS UHS-I card ($10.88 Walmart) successfully on my Garmin nuvi 1450LMT
