Hi Experts,

I bought a humble nuvi 205 locally/ SG several years back and was trying to update via
http://www.garmin.com.sg/mapupdate/

however, that website cannot recognize my serial number on the GPS -

calling up garmin shop in orchard - sales guy say model not supported, buy new one - even though website above has a link for nuvi 205.

does anyone know how to fix this? was browsing the comments but couldn't find an answer.

best regards,
Jason

Don't waste your time. Your 3-year-old unit does not qualify for any map updates from Garmin, period.

If you want an up-to-date map, download from HERE.

You need to have an SD card in which a \Garmin folder has been created. You have to unzip the downloaded file and copy only the gmapsupp.img into the SD card \Garmin folder. You can forget about the file Product.JCV because your device does not support Junction View.

Dear Bro tbh,

While it is true that the Garmin website does present different map formats for different models, only LM models have a life-time update feature. The Nuvi 205 does not have LM and as far as I can remember, you can only HAVE ONE UPDATE WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THE FIRST SATELLITE LOCK.

Thus a 3-year-old 205 does not qualify for updates so it is a waste of time to try.

This only apply to Navteq commercial map.

For MSM maps released on garmin.sg site, as long as units are SGMY local serial, no limitation.

Bro Wsian,

Thanks for the clarification. If that is the case, then isn't something wrong with the Garmin website if they do not allow a local set to download?

Unless of course the user supplied the Serial Number when the required number is the GPSID.
