You may have to do a hard reset. This sometimes occurs when downloading firmware and maps. One of the joys with Garmin. To do a hard reset, place your finger on the lower right screen and power up the unit (and answer yes to the question). This will delete any addresses you have stored, so it's a good idea to back up first.Since you may be new to Garmin, take a look at the following discussion in the Garmin Nuvi Community forum here on Amazon:Garmin Nuvi "basic" FAQ (for new users) as of 02/26/09.This will give you several tips on these units.

Thank you so much for the post on the "hard reset". I recently updated my maps and when next I used it I saw the No Maps and the No Data message. Your hard reset worked perfectly--on the second try--it was comforting to see that question come up and know how to answer it. I didn't have any addresses that were essential so all is well. You are a life saver!!!!

Thank you so much - this worked perfectly for me! This thing was driving me crazy and wasting a bunch of my time!

That's a real bummer, Christophe. Have you tried rebooting? You do this by sliding the on/off switch to the on position and holding it there for 15 to 20 seconds. If that fails, then it's off to Garmin. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks so much for your reply. Unfortunately I already tried this a couple times to no avail.

In case this helps anyone, I was facing the same issue, and after endless research found out that after updating the maps, you have to sign into your myGarmin account, go to the Garmin unlock maps page and unlock/ activate the new maps. The maps that initially come with the unit are already unlocked, but apparently the update doesn't do this automatically - and doesn't explicitly tell you that you need to (thanks Garmin!). I also ended up reinstalling the new maps again - not sure if this helped, but it doesn't hurt to try! Now the maps are working correctly and I no longer get the "no data available" error.

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

I don't know what your're talking about. I have a tom tom start 45tm 4.3 and have never had a GPS update but you can connect to a computer and get map updates if there are any.

Why does this get such negative reviews? Seems logical to get the most recent model in most tech things. We're buying our first gps, and need europe maps. Is the 765, 775, or 275 better?

I've read that others have experienced this (not only on this model). Contact Garmin. They either need (or will have) a firmware update or you should be entitled to a new unit (Garmin usually pawns off reconditioned units to their customers that want an exchange).

I have just bought a Tomtom XL from Amazon. The SW told me my map is up to date, yet, I know the map was released at 2007. Instead of going thru the tool->latest map guarantee menu, I went to other menu to purchase the map, the message said my map is 5 quarter behind and then when I tried to purchase, it showed the version of the map available to my system is at 8.xxx.I will have to call Tomtom tomorrow to find out what's going on.

When new, the Garmin leaves very little extra memory and the map data is ever expanding. The first answer is a good one. Add a micro memory card and try to upload the new data.

Go to garmin.com sign up for an account register your device. If you already have done that just sign in then click on the tab called my dashboard. From there it will instruct you on how to update the firmware/maps.

I am shopping for my 1st GPS. TomTom 340TM is supposed to include free maps for the life of the device. How can they refuse to upgrade the maps on your refurb? slloyd1000@verizon.net

You could be in a new area??Just built??? Or the other thing is to update your gps through garmin, that should help

I followed D. Kovac's instructions on re-installing the TomTom application on the device but did not work. When I finished the install and rebooted the XL 340, the device complained it had no maps installed! Next, I re-connected the device to the computer and TomTom Home errored saying I had installed the wrong app version. It gave me a new update, which I installed and I ended up back in square one!

I am considering the same thing. I bought the TomTom and have not been able to get it working - the operating software seems to have only partially loaded. I spent 3 hours on the phone with their customer service - very nice people, but they have no technical knowledge, they can only read to you from a script. I think I am going to return this one and give the Garmin a try.

I just got home with the Magellan Maestro 4250. It doesn't have my neighborhood in it??? I called the helpline and a guy from what sounded like Pakistan told me I had to get an upgrade to 2.36. I have not figured out how to do that yet. I can not seem to find an opportunity to get this firmware downloaded. Can any one help me. I am on the brink of taking this damn thing back to the store. aj

I have not done it yet, but from what I have read - I have to register the Garmin online and then I will get access to the updates. I will try to do this over the weekend and repost my results, if that helps.

My 855 is also running the latest firmware, ver 4.7 from 12/28/2009, but still freezes. I have only owned Garmin's since my first GPS in 2003, but this is the first one with such severe freezing problems.

I just bought 255w at Amazon but it shipped by another vendor and I just found out It did not have a new map version.How do I update the map(package did not have USB cable and where can I find the Usb cable) I thought If I buy it from Amazon web site all GPS should go with new map.I'm confuse.I need some experts to help me out. Thanks,

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. I purchased a new unit but can tell you that all of the user information and map updates are readily available on the Garmin internet site.
