I’ll give it a shot. I really wish the company would make things clear, oh well. Cheers!
after u bought something let the battery go all the to zero then charge it all the way to a 100% , do that total of 3 times and u should be good
Say “VERY VERY ” a few more times.
ya spaz
i think that 4 or 5 hours is ok now if you got 4 lines, i think that 12 hours is only the first time
Ah OK, now i got it. I had a feeling thats what you mean’t, I just wasn’t positive. I let it run down to 1 battery line before I recharged it. But, again, I only charged it for 4 or 5 hours, although I saw all 4 battery lines back. Any suggestions on what I should do now since I only charged it for 4 or 5 hours?
In the marker of the battery there are 4 lines that indicate the status of the battery, and what i meant was THE FIRST TIME YOU BUY THE GPS, not all the times, i dont know about that cause i got it today, but what i know is that the FIRST TIME you gotta recharge it for 12 hours when it has only 1 battery line left
Thanks. I’m confused as to what “2 lines of battery” means?
Basically, are you saying to NOT let the battery go down completely, only close before recharging?
Then I’m guessing let it drain every six months and recharge for battery maintenance?
I only charged mine for about 4 or 5 hours, but its was completely charged.
Garmin should do a better job with in letting people know what to do.
Well, i bought a Garmin Nuvi 205W today and the girl that sold it to me, said that when you buy it it has 2 lines of battery, which is true, then she told me to wait until it has 1 line only and then recharge it for 12 hours
Is this little thing works in the philippines?
I went no Miami on a vacation and got lost. Took the wrong bus and ended up in Hialeah…. what a horrible place!! Anyway… this is a great video and I like your sarcastic comments. Tks
I bought one about a month ago and let the battery get low, then recharged it. Can someone give me some recharging info for battery maintenance. Such as, upon buying the garmin, should you let the battery run down completely or just low? After that, how often is it necessary to let the battery run down (again, low or completely)? I’m looking for specific information about battery maintenance if anyone can send me a message.
It DOES work in Europe, and pretty much everywhere if you just have the right maps. For instance I’m from Finland and I bought the nuvi 205 with nordic countries preprogammed in it. It works just fine and I already bought maps of North America and there’s no problem with that either
It’s kind of a spite feature.
@koca39 no used bit cant telll any wear and tear spotless
new?
it cost 100., ill sell u one for 20 bucks
Hej, what if I don’t live in the USA? Does it work for Europe as well? Thanks
how much does it cost
i got mine . im puttin it on my motorcycle cause it doesnt have a speedometer.
my camera’s USB cable fits mine!
Who would want one, its just like another women, always giving out!
there is a key that looks like a flat letter u it is the space in is on the bottom row I think.
Mine didn’t come with a USB cable either. It says in the instruction booklet that “some Nuvi 205’s’ come with a cable. So i guess it’s like playing the lottery for a USB cable.
Hialeah is a dump, as is the rest of South Florida. -_- But the Garmin Nuvi’s are good.
i just got one, its really great. if you are looking for a starter GPS you can;t beat this one. plus its upgradeable.
