I would suggest a "Master Reset" to cure the problem.

Press the top right corner of the screen whilst switching the Nuvi on.
Keep pressing until you get the reset option and press yes.

You'll have to reselect some of your options after, but well worth the effort.

I've got a 310D and the master reset works with that, and I think yours is basically the same.

I suggest you try again, making sure you're pressing the top right corner of the screen as you switch the Nuvi on, and don't stop pressing until you get the reset options. You'll get all the loading screens first, but just keep pressing unti the reset appears.

Different models use different corners for hard reset. If top right does not work try the other corners. You may even get into maintenance mode as on the 660. Keep pressing the corner until you get the appropriate message but don't try to push th escreen out of the back of the nuvi! Laughing

Hi,

Try sliding the power button to the left and hold it there for about 30 seconds, this should allow you to enter calbration mode.

250(w) uses bottom right, held down when powering on to do a "user" reset. Seems to work ok
