Garmin nuvi 205 GPS Receiver Questions & Answers
Nuvi 205 does not track car properly!
I found there are different settings on mine such a local. The local will take you all over an area instead of taking you in a straight line. Check your instruction book to know how to set it.
Can not calibrate the screen
Here is the procedure to calibrate the screen if you can not reach the calibration screen through the GPS menus.
Nuvi 2xx/2xxW Series: Turn the Nuvi off. Place your finger on the upper left-hand corner of the screen and then slide the on/off power switch to the left and hold until you see the calibration screen. Note: Some 2xxW models require the procedure below for the 7xx.
Nuvi 7xx Series: Turn the Nuvi off. Touch the screen anywhere and keep your finger there while moving the on/off switch to left (don't wait for Garmin logo to come up) and then quickly moving the switch the right (lock position). After a short while, you will reach the calibration screen. Go through the entire procedure of pressing each dot as it appears on the screen until it says "Done".
Now if you go through and press the dots and it keeps looping without saying "calibration complete" then the touchscreen has drifted out of specification and must be replaced.
Please see this link for more information about touchscreens and how to get it replaced.

You need to recalibrate the touchscreen. Try this: Turn off the Nuvi. Place your finger on the upper left-hand corner of the screen and then push down on the power button to turn the unit on. Release the power button when the Garmin logo appears. Continue to press on the upper left-hand corner of the screen until you see the calibration screen.
Go through the entire procedure of pressing each dot as it appears on the screen.
Once completed the Nuvi will display Calibration Complete This will recalibrate your touchscreen to the LCD display.
If this doesn't resolves your problem. then your touchscreen may be defective.

The base map will just give you major highways. You are missing the gmapprom.img file which supplies all city streets. The sum file is not used and is only a checksum file to insure that the basemap was downloaded without errors. The map file, depending on year can be anywhere from 1 to 2GB in size and too large to be sent by email. In addition, you will need an unlock code file to activate the map on your unit.

Part of your LCD is not lighting up. This tends to happen as the nuvi 200 series units age. Garmin can repair this at $69 flat rate. In my opinion it isn't worth it because you can go out and buy a newer better model for that price. But if you want it repaired give garmin a call at 800-800-1012.
