Garmin Nuvi 65LM: Won't stay on Map View, changes to turn by turn text

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:44:39 -0700

Hello, I have a Garmin Nuvi 65 LM. Recently I noticed that when I am going to an address after about a couple of minutes the screen switches from map view to turn by turrn directions. I have tried rebooting, updating maps and software and have looked through all of the settings. Is there any chance of fixing this or is the GPS toast?

Thanks,

Garmin Edge 530: Device keeps going to sleep

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 02:46:30 -0700

I've had my Garmin 530 for 2 years though I haven't ridden as much as usual. Recently when I start the timer at the beginning of a ride, within about 20 seconds I get the message "going to sleep in 3, 2, 1" and it goes to sleep. It's still recording data but I need to be able to keep my screen on so I can see average speed, etc. (I lead rides for a bike club) I have tried to trouble shoot this but can't seem to find an answer. I wondered if I went back to default settings? Any ideas?

Garmin Edge 1000: My Edge 1000 is no longer entering storage mode

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 07:50:05 -0700

Originally, when the Edge 1000 was connected to the PC, it entered storage mode, and it was possible to access the device memory and the card memory to transfer files like maps and courses. Recently, it stopped displaying both memories and even after forcing it by pressing the lap key while connecting the USB cable, it doesn't enter storage mode, however, it still charges the battery. Dear members, do you have any solutions? Has it also happened to you? Thanks.

Garmin Nuvi 255W: Need PIN code to access GPS

Wed, 17 Jul 2024 19:45:05 -0700

I bought a second hand Garmin Nuvi 255W. It seems to be working, but I can't get past the pin code request. (I'm assuming whoever owned it before me would have the code, but I have no idea who that might be.) I have tried the hard reboot, but it still wants the code. Any suggestions?

Magellan RoadMate 1200: Power button fell off. What do I do?

Sat, 06 Apr 2024 06:03:25 -0700

My GPS has not been turning on lately. So, I decided to open it up, to find that the power button had fallen off of the board.

I tried taping it to the board with electrical tape (I suck at soldering) and it turns on sometimes. When it does, the Magellan logo shows up, then a white screen. How do I fix this?
