REMEMBER: It takes hours to do a complete a map update.
Unless you bought the Lifetime maps you may have to pay for current maps.
My garmin 250w does not get satellite signals.
yes it can be very much possible that the gps device is not getting satellite signals due to older version of map.update the gps device with its latest firmware updates for maps then check out.also other possible reasons for this problems are are inbuilt antenna in the gps device is got weak there are external gps antenna available in the online sites like radio-shack and best-buy shops.but if the antenna is not the problem then it can be problem in the battery of the gps.the battery is got weak.the battery needs replacement in this case.but if the battery is also not the problem then check out if the no or low signal problem is only at one place or every where.if there are tall buildings and trees covering the gps or its in the packed room or car.then it looses signals sometimes..in this case it has to be placed directly facing towards the open sky.where the space is wide open then check out.it will start catching the signal.but as per you question if nothing helps then yes the older map version in the device is definitely one of the reason for no signal in the device.
this will help.please do rate the solution.keep updated for any further assistance if more help required.thanks.
System software missing garmin 250w
If the unit indicates "software/firmware missing", then you can only try to re-install firmware by running WebUpdater again. If it doesn't work, then the unit has to be sent to service to have it re-flashed.
Dell Inspiron E1505 CD/DVD Drive does not work!
this is not good..
there is no point it trying to talk you through what it might or could be wrong with it.your best bet is to get some one to look at it for you.
mind you it sounds like the laser lens can not read the cd or dvd that you put in.
something has come lose or moved inside.
My Garmin Nuvi 250, when
New , later maps for the Garmin take up more space that what unit has in available memory - so you have to get an sd memory card to put in the slot when you do the update.
I installed maps onto my gps, but I cant activate

Nuvi 250w will not turn on
I had the very same problem with my 250w. After trying to push the reset button while holding "on" (which didn't do anything at all), I decided to open it. If you have a valid warranty, I'd recommend sending it for repair. Anyway, since my warranty was over, I unplugged the battery and replugged it. Miraculously, the device turned on.
If you intend to open it, here is how I proceeded:
-Remove the sticker strip (which covers the reset button)
-Unscrew the 2 screws (you'll need a special screwdriver, T6)
-Open the cover (carefully, there are wires holding the 2 pieces together) with a flat screwdriver (the most difficult part)
-Once you are done, unscrew the 3 screws that you see on the back cover to reach the battery. Then unplug the battery and replug it.
-Once you've done this, you can immediately check if it turns on.
I hope this will somehow help you.
Reset 250 remove forgotten pin garmin nuvi
This tip will describe how to perform a hard reset of the device, and how to
backup your 'Favorites' in case the hard reset erases them. The next step in fixing your Nuvi when it doesn't start properly is to
update its system software using Garmin WebUpdater.
A hard reset (or Clear All User Data) has been known to resolve unit quirks and strange behavior. It's generally recommended to perform it after a firmware update but is not required by any means. However, if you're seeing quirks and strange behavior with your unit after the firmware update, it is a good idea to do a hard reset of the unit.
