If that doesn't help, check in settings to see if the map is installed and enabled. This link may help with the steps to do this. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=0lxtbhtWQB6ilbUV2C3zn6
Garmin Express still says it's all in order so I've reinstalled GE as well for good measure
it apparently worked as it should and announced all was up to date only to discover the next morning in vehicle it had 'lost; its maps.
Last night I again used GE with same result, uninstalled and reinstalled GE to be sure I had newest version but it proudly announces still 'you are up to date' but no maps... (I took a screenshot, but don't seem to be able to put it up here, probably as a new member I expect)
To display an image, click the little "picture frame" icon in the toolbar and paste your link into the box.
I >think< I may have found the reinstall option mentioned earlier though its not perhaps obvious TBH,
Presently the Nuvi is hooked to Mac and downloading (something) in an hour I'll know if it was successful and try and string together a couple more screenshots
I was hoping to post screenshots of Garmin Express of how I achieved it but going back now I'm not seeing the same path
(probably as I've re-instated the maps)
but it's roughly;
Home screen>
Tools & content>
Utilities> (scroll down for reinstall maps)
a further screen opens showing progress bar as maps re-install,
Mine took nearly 2 hours but appears to have completed and Nuvi works,
I'll take it to work on Monday and report back if anything amiss
thanks for help
Same result, just a different way to get there.
I have used GE previously on same model Garmin, that one has developed a technical fault where it essentially flicks between functions all by itself as I drive along, may be able to get it repaired I don't know, but I can't be without a device as I use it in my driving job almost all day.
Start with the device turned off and unplugged from power. ...
Power on the device.
When the first copyright screen appears press and hold the lower right hand corner of the display portion of the touchscreen.
Remove your finger from the touchscreen when "Erase all user data?"
If that doesn't work, call Garmin and ask for estimates to get it fixed or replaced. Might be cheaper (and more reliable) to buy a newer model GPS and a dashcam.
or
I am trying to add a postcode (for example)
the touchscreen reacts to my fingertip but the device doesn't actually begin searching the postcode
Does anyone know of another unit with camera fitted with wide screen, I'll need to buy another I expect later on
