SOURCE: replacing battery on Forerunner 305

Well it is an accumulator instead of a battery so just recharge it.
If the accumulatoris gone I think you have to use the garmin support

SOURCE: Replacement Memory Battery

The Garmin GPS III and III plus use a tabbed lithium coin battery. Its is a Panasonic BR-2032. You can buy these for about $2 from larger electronic suppliers. The problem is that the shipping or minimum order will make that $2 battery cost you about $25. For you cheap guys there is a solution. You buy a CP-2032 and a coin holder. $2-3 for the battery and $1-$2 for the holder. 6 screws to open the case, cut the wires close to the battery as possible. Solder the wires to the coin holder (good idea to heat shrink or cover the solder joints), put in the new battery and you are done the easy bit. You will most likely have to trim away some of the plastic on the holder such as legs or other things sticking out. Unfortunately you can't really do this with out fitting it in the case and you don't want to do that until you have the holder on the wires so it will be in the right place. Once you get that, simply play with it until you can put the screws back in. And tighten gently. Not too much or the gasket will be squeezed too far out. Put tAA'sx AA's back in, take it outside so it has an unobstructed view of the sky, set it down and go for a long coffee or three. It will now download the almanac and any other data which can take 15 minutes or more depending on the satellites. You should see a low battery error and other errors such as saved data lost. Ignore these. You can put it on a external power plug or just leave it off with the AA's and in 5-7 days it will have reset the error as it figures it it now charged. You get the battery error even with a new fresh charged battery. I think there is a Garmin reset code to force this but none of the codes I have tried have worked.

SOURCE: What sort of internal memory battery is in my garmin 12xl?

You can find the battery here:
http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=658-VL1220-1VC

To open the case, scrape the sealant in the grove around the unit; then use a flat screwdriver, as wide as possible, that fits in the grove. Place the screwdriver on all sides and different places. Rotate the screwdriver gently until the glue tears and both gps housings can be separated.

To replace the battery you will need to be handy in soldering in tight spaces.

SOURCE: battery replacement now ca't find satellite Garmin c320

More than likely when you reinstalled the gps receiver (the board with the wires connected to it) at the top of the receiver you did not position it properly. If it is not positioned properly it will not receive a satellite signal

Gpsmap 180 firmware corrupt

It sounds like it has lost its memory battery. Usually you
would get a "memory battery low" message as it is on its
way out but you don't mention that so perhaps it has
completely failed.

The battery is rechargeable - if you leave it switched off
and loaded with a fresh set of alkalines for a few days it
may recover. If not contact Garmin as they have replaced
many memory batteries free of charge even out of warranty.

I am getting a Memory Battery is Low - how do I recharge or replace teh memory batter. I only load AAA batteries into the equipment?

The memory battery is normally charged by the AA batteries. Leave the batteries in for 5 days. If this doesn't recharge the memory battery then it needs replacing. It's recommended that you send the unit back to Garmin to have it replaced. The memory battery is a Panasonic VL 1220. If you want to attempt changing the battery yourself there's some information on how to do so at http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/lofiversion/index.php?t38975.html

When i open garmin 12xl it gev me vois when i press page bottom this message show me (Memory Battery is Low ) how to solve this

The memory battery is a BTR2032 or a CR2032. This is one of those coin type batteries. To replace it you need to open the case and depending on when your unit was made you will either find a battery hold or the battery will have wires soldered to it.

The batteries are cheap. Usually under $1. Getting someone to change might cost a bit. If this battery goes out then your unit will forget settings and so on and have to reload everything from scratch every time you use it. It will work fine but might take 5-10 minutes (depends on how many sattilites it can see) to get running.

Shuts down when driving, looses power, and goes to battery

If your Nuvi's battery is low, and the plug becomes loose, then that may be your problem. If your Nuvi is acting up due to a firmware / system software glitch (common common common), then I can help you fix your Garmin Nuvi 200W.

There are three steps to take to get your Nuvi running like new:

  1. Back up your Favorites (if your computer will still recognize it or if you have a memory chip you can pop into a card reader).
  2. Perform a Hard Reset.
  3. Download and then run Garmin WebUpdater to replace its firmware / system software.

I hope that helps.

Replacement of the memory battery of my Garmin 195

Piece of cake. Remove screws from back of device. Separate the housing and carefully lift up circuit card off of pins. There is a battery holder underneath. Simply remove wafer battery and replace with like model battery. Put back together and you're off.

I have a Garmin GPSmap76 and did the update from garmin and it took my basemape off so what can I do to get it back? It updated me from 2.0 to 4.0 can you help me?

That sounds strange. I wasn't aware that you could remove the basemap. Anyway, if you want to put the unit back to factory specs, as when you received it new, you may want to consider doing a Master Reset. Be aware that you will loose all user input - that means settings which you have entered, waypoints, routes, and tracks. Make sure you have noted your settings and backed up your data before doing the master reset. I don't know if it will restore a basemap or not, but it's for sure, it will restore everything else to "original". Again, I've never hear of loosing the basemap, are you sure it's gone? You might ought to call Garmin about that 1-800-800-1020.................good luck

Garmin nuvi 250 mapsource

Verify that you have the correct basemap for the country that you are in. There are two maps inside a new Garmin. The basemap which shows all the major highways and mapsource which shows all the street. If you don't have the correct basemap try changing 'Navigation' Advoidance to avoid highways and Toll Roads.
