Thread: Garmin 255W need help

Some form of progress now maybe.

To answer your questions

No SD in the Garmin
I did have it connected to PC after loading software and allowing it to reboot.
No XML or GarminDate.tmp after another boot attempt.

The issue was after loading the software I left it connected to the PC on reboot. Followed your instruction and allowed it to boot without being connected to the PC and

It asked for 12 or 24 hour clock
also Miles or Kilometers

followed by the following.

"No detailed maps found that support routing".
"The Nuvi cannot be used without them".

After that I connected it to the PC and I checked for the XML file and still nothing but, the following:

Garmin Folder showing as noted
Inside the Garmin folder is the folder GPX
An MS Edge logo titled GarminDevice and a
File titled mt.nvm

Inside the GPX folder is the file Current.gpx

At roughly the same time that I connected it to the PC, Garmin Express popped up saying a new device was detected and software updates were available. After the update there are now additional folders and files showing in Garmin but, still no XML as yet.

The additional folders and files are as follows
ExtData folder with 4 different bin files
RemoteSW with a file named 006B090100.GCD
A file named gmaptz.img and
A MS Edge logo named Locales

Not sure if this makes it more confusing or not

Cheers
