Any Garmin experts?

I have a low-end model (250?) and the H key on the keyboard is now a @. All the other 25 letters are fine. When you press the @/H key, you get an @, so any address with an H cannot be input.

Any ideas? I've reset it, cleared all the history. The only thing I haven't tried is letting the battery completely die.

Oh, and my laptop has no D key, so life is just one challenge after another. ;)

1. Oh, no!

Now it can only tell you to turn left. :P

Wish I could help you out. I would go with the let the battery on it die. Other than that, maybe a hammer?

Been thinking about you a lot. Miss you tons! :hug:

2. I miss you too...

We'll be in town to move Lelapin into an apartment the weekend of Sally and Iza's reception. Hope you and your sweetie will be there...

:hug:

Apparently there is a difference. :shrug:

Worth a try. I still use a Garmin emap.

16. Mine only came with a car power cord

No computer cables or adapters. I've searched all the unit menus and don't see anyway to update it. (it was the cheapest one sold)

17. You just need a USB cable that fits

My digital camera cable and the GPS cable are the same, interchangeable so to speak. Or maybe you could borrow one.
