Garmin 255w wows, customising, maps updating

... nah!- dont want to delete old maps (on unit) in case of SD lost or damaged or lost back up AND once selected on maps setting which to load- it loads nicely 2012 maps of SD card

...................................................
More importantly annoying re'boot, upon charge- no options as how to change or access that sort of setting as "SLEEP"

I don't think there is sleep function!
sliding button (On a top of a unit)- Start/Shut-down ; other way- lock the screen (with locked screen- same re'boot/start/load maps etc)

once (eventually started) on navigation pane there is options 1- Where to; 2- view map; 3-Volume; 4 TOOLS...

TOOLS:
SETTINGS; Where Am I?; Help; Ecoroute; Picture Viewer; My data; World Clock; Calculator; Unit converter

(obvious) SETTINGS:
SYSTEM; Navigation; Display; Time; Language; Map; Security; Proximity points

(obvious) SYSTEM:
GPS Simulator; Usage mode; Units; Keyboard layout

...?... on all pages whilst in SETTINGS at the bottom of a page [BACK] ; [ABOUT] ; [RESTORE]

Unfortunately, re-starting is just something you have to put up with I guess.

Thanks for clearing that up!
( meh?- hard to give up)
GRRRR!:wallbash:

drives me up the wall with complete reboot when it gets connected back on charge (up to 2 min)

not nice!
ah well, just gonna update the maps and cameras...

Apart from camera DB is there any skins/buildings/voices or else enhancement to make it any more less hated- bearable?

not to let unit re'-boot/start/load maps/find signal/load route each time I plug the charge back on (or turn ignition back on)

BTW each *uckin booting I also need to press agree button half way... to let it load to the navigation page, when I need to press on a map, to continue route...

Hence why I am getting annoyed to the level of insanity/ INNOVATION and looking for a way as how to "rape" the bugger or to fix it.

Also, I am quite handy with Linux/OS OS'es- would anyone have any experience/advice or is it final?

If all above fails- just put Garmin in a drawer?:7:

???

FWIW, I've used Garmin, TT and WinCE [iGO]. Igo has it over the other two - in my book. That's MY opinion.

I agree!
I could use Garmin- rather simple and functional... but this restart.....GRRRR!

BTW
here's "internal (visible) organs" of Garmin unit
5205

I did an upgrade on one of these once, I think i remember it being on or off with no suspend as well.

UPGRADE?
now that's what I am after!:crazy:
Anymore info-ideas?
Thanks!

As in map, speedcam upgrade, you can't do much, if anything with the software.
