GPS Firmware Upgrade Popup

Hello,

Its sounds like your GPS's internal receiver is broken, you may be able to fix this with a firmware update but it is likely you will have to purchase an external antenna for your GPS to be functional.

Hope this helps!

Try update the unit with the latest firmware by using WebUpdater from Garmin. 

are you inside when trying this ? Garmin has a very bad reputation in acquiring satelites when in coverered position.
Go outside and you will notice it goes much faster.

My Nuvi 255w was doing thew same thing. I called Garmin and was told to send it back for replacement or repair. I can only suggest to you at this time to cxontact Garmin customer service

www.garmin.com

Have you tried a complete reset? If not this is what you do. Turn on the Garmin at the same time press the bottom right hand corner of the screen. this will return it to factory standard, but it will wipe out any information you may have stored on it.

Hi Bob,
You need to do a complete reset by turning it on and at the same time press the bottom right hand corner of the screen this will reset it to factory condition. having done that when you switch it on again leave some where where it has a clear view of the sky and leave it for about 1/2 an hour. This should sort it out for you. Best of luck.

Hi,
use the web-updater at garmin
or update the firmware at garmin,
turn WAAS on

turn GPS signal off
go outside after the update
turn GPS signal back on ( takes upto 15 mins to locate satelites )

should be good

I've never had this problem but I have heard of a possible solution. On the Option screen where it shows Where to? and View map, press on the satellite bars on the top left corner and hold until you get the GPS screen, leave it for around 10 secs then back up. I hope this helps!
