SOURCE: update problem with Garmin Nuvi 255w
I had same problem. I called Garmin customer service who connected me to a computer rep. Garmin hooks with your computer that you have your Garmin plugged into.They can upload the proper software in no time at all.
The rep told me that after I updated my Garmin I might have turned off the unit before it completed updating the new software. You need to wait until the screen with "Where to?" appears.
It works great now. Prepare to wait on hold for a while. I waited just over an hour on Monday, their busiest day.
SOURCE: System Software Missing on Garmin Nuvi 255W
Hi,
Take a look at this site, http://www.garmin.be/missing.html
Download and unzip the software, plug your garmin in the USB and start
the updater.exe program. It gets you started again. Later on you can
use the Webupdater to get possible newer software..
It worked for me and my Zumo550
Goodluck
Auke

SOURCE: Can I update my Garmin Gps Nuvi 255w free?
You can try. When we went to update our Garmin GPS, they wanted actual money. I told them I wanted it free ... they said they were not moved, maps cost money and if I wanted maps, money was the medium of exchange.
Turned out the cost was almost 50% of the price of a new device.
We are still using the "old" maps. We are surviving.
Thanks for your question at FixYa.com
SOURCE: hi my garmin nuvi 255w keeps powering off
Try resetting the unit and also charge it using only the wall charger overnight.
Here's how to reset -it just puts everything back to factory settings -
1- Turn unit on WHILE HOLDING your thumb in the lower right corner as shown in picture.
2-Select YES
PLEASE Take the time to vote me up this is my only reward for trying to help.
Thanks
