Hi
my friend asked me to update his Nuvi 250; I was so stupid that day I formatted his Nuvi...! stupid stupid stupid.
of course: no backup.
now...I read online to try to connect to GarminWebUpdater to 'renew' the Nuvi: but it doesn't recognize the device (the pc can see Garmin folder but WebUpdater says no device).
I tried to copy some files from my Nuvi 660 too but I'm not so able: wrong method.
So: is the method this thread refers to the correct method to follow? Or some different suggestions?
I wrote twice to Garmin but no answers.
please help me!!

Format again nuvi 250 and after format on empty nuvi create new folder and add name Garmin
Turn off/On nuvi and you will have garmindevice.xml inside your Garmin folder
Now run webupdater and they will recognize your device and update it.
thanks lolypop000
I followed your suggestions, but in new Garmin folder I created I can only see these:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
and webupdater doesn't find the nuvi
yes, I formated again and followed your suggs; the only difference is I called my folder GARMIN and not Garmin; then turned off, turned on and I found the files in it.
I do not already use the cure tool..
There are instruction in starting post, read them . Load cure, format , load original firmware, after that create Garmin folder in Nuvi.
If Nuvi creates garmindevice.xml you can start Webupdater and get needed flies.
Ask for missing files if Webupdater wont load all.
You have to navigate to get to the good.
