Hello. Not sure about your problem, but sometimes if the memory is full and phone is out of space weird things happen . My cell phone store guy recommends updating the software once a year. I rarely used tbe GPS function, but did notice it was never as quick and responsive as my new LG phone. Try the software update, maybe it will clean the problem up. I'm not that tech savvy, but have heard the Triumph phone has a limited operating system, hence being slow or not loading. But even with all that, I still prefer the Triumph phone to the new and improved LG phone I have now. The Triumph phone lasted for 2-1/2 years, lots of bumps, drops and dirt. No cell phone lasted as long. Good luck. Kem

I'm sorry I'm not the person to ask...have not had good luck with this gps. Geo site still doesn't recognize this gps. Have not been able to use it since it was given to me as a gift (almost one year). Help line is useless. Again sorry, hope you have better luck.

Klamath,I sympathize with you. I also made a mistake by attempting to update the firmware on my Roadmate 6000T which was in pristine condition and worked ok aside from the map being outdated. The thing crashed after the firmware update and would not start. It has been sent back to a repair center in Smynra, TN for a refurbished replacement, I just hope I don't get a crappy old thing back like you did, that is disgusting, IMO a refurbished unit should be like a new unit and not bashed up as you described, Magellan's after care service is terrible !!!

Yes, I have attempted several times to make it work, but it just won't. I have also tried with an older iPod touch and it still doesn't work. The battery keeps the ipod charged, but no go on the gps, which is why I bought it. If anyone can help me, Id appreciate it!

it's simple.......you can't!!! the date and time is automatically synchronized with the GPS, the only thing you can do is set the time zone.

I haven't been able to get it to work. I think its b/c we have a crappy tablet we were trying to use it with. When we can afford it, I'll get a better tablet that has a usb port and try again. Right now hubby is just using the gps on his phone. Hes a trucker and he uses a trucker gps app.

The time on mine always resets after I turn it off and back on. However, it always sets to the correct date, and exactly one hour behind the correct time regardless of what I've set it to. It's almost as if it has a way to automatically set the time, but has the wrong time zone or daylight saving time set. I thought it might be getting the info from the GPS; but I recently traveled to a different time zone, and it reset the time to two hours behind. In other words, it didn't know that I traveled to a different time zone.

Haven't tried to update since I just got my GPS. HOWEVER - it gives the wrong directions....When the map clearly shows to turn one direction, the voice prompt says to turn the opposite. Finally, I just turn it off and follow the road signs!!!! Not happy with my TomTom!!!

Hey guys, thanks for the info. I have the same problem with mine, but the user delete suggestion did not do the trick. Am waiting for an email reply from Garmin Custumer service on next steps. Thanks anyway though.

What's up Frank! Hope you're doing well. I think you might have to update the maps. I am not a specialist, but I recently recieved a message on my GPS startup screen to update the map (have yet to do so). Last year when this issue happened, the map update helped fix address issue, temporarily. Gramin offers free up-to-date maps on their website. Overall it is a good GPS for finding LOCAL locations. I have found that once you'd been to the area with the GPS on, it records the satellite points for faster access in the future. Make sure you flip open the antennae (square flap) to connect. Accuracy is like 7.65900/10 and has internal issues like the one Frank talked about. The GPS itself (internal software) is 5/10. It's okay and has bugs when you are typing in the address. It only accepts a specific format for addresses (something like zip code, city, house #, street name). I would recommend it only if you are looking for something cheap and are somewhat are familiar with the compass rose and major landmarks in the city.

GPS has an on and Off in the setting menu. I assume in the off setting it doesn't provide GPS location and update the date/time

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

I am having this problem, as well. I tried to run updates and had it plugged into my computer most of the day yesterday and then last night it just would not turn back on. I have tried the reset on the switch (my 255 does not have a reset button, i ripped of the sticker to be sure) and I just can't get it to turn on. Garmin support has a 30 minute wait time and I can't wait that long at work. Anyone have any other ideas?

I've had the Maestro 4040 for about a week, and I'm having a major problem with it. Right now while driving a route the unit will often go a bit wonky, as in it will stop announcing street names, or the map will show a completely different area than where I am, or the progress bar screen will freeze. The unit will then reboot itself, and after it comes back it will operate correctly until I power the unit off and then back on after a period of time.Still working with Magellan support on this one, this stuff seems to have started happening after a firmware upgrade.
