Need some more advanced help that I hope to receive from the experts here. I did talk with Garmin support who was willing to try to help me with basic steps that were unsuccessful in getting the Nuvi back to being recognized. How can I try to get the 255W to be recognized by the PC - is it as simple as just doing a format using File Explorer? Do I then just copy the backup files back to the internal drive? Does it matter that the backup files may contain v7.6 while the GPS is running v7.8? I have what appears to be a complete backup from 2 years ago. it installed the latest map 2013.

I accidentally deleted all the files from my Nuvi 1350LMT to install new map. Note - to be clear, GE created the problem - I did not try to format anything. hi i have backed up the files before i deleted it. File Explorer just shows the drive as a removable drive with 0 bytes used and 0 bytes free. The GPS has the complete map installed on the SD card and works fine as a GPS using that - but it can't be updated now since GE essentially seemed to wipe the internal drive clean. GE completed the update and said an error occurred. Problem arose when I put an SD card into GPS in order to get the complete map installed and allowed GE to do a map update.

At the Select Component page, select 'Nuvi 200/205 series (WAV audio)' if you have a Garmin Nuvi 200 or 205 GPS.
Ensure your path isAfter the license page, select the folder of your Nuvi drive or external storage card containing Mobile XT. Similar to recent posters, my 255W is now not recognized by the PC either by File Explorer or Garmin Express. Double-click on the downloaded file to start running it.
