Ok, don't panic as this can be resolved. It may require a call to Garmin support but let's see where we are first!
If you connect your Nuvi to your PC, can you see it as a disk drive and browse it via Explorer? _________________ Darren Griffin |

Ah pity In which case a call to Garmin UK support is the next step. They can send you a firmware flash utility which will resolve the issue.
Free 0808 238 0000 (within U.K.) or not-free 0870-8501242 (within U.K.) _________________ Darren Griffin |

Yes very simple and can be sent to you via email so not as bad as it sounds. _________________ Darren Griffin |

No problem, go here, download the web updater and allow it to update your Nuvi. _________________ Darren Griffin |

I'm afraid all I can suggest is a call to Garmin again. What was the file they sent you called? _________________ Darren Griffin |

Give them a call, we could bat ideas around here all evening but as it occurred after you installed their file it'll be easier to ask them. _________________ Darren Griffin |
