need help with a garmin 205

 

I was just hoping that someone might know the problem my son is having with his older nuvi 205,he turned it on and it just goes to a screen that says press dot,but it does nothing when u press it,ive tried to reset it by holding off switch like mine but it just goes back to press dot and u cant take battery out to reset it i know its older but he hasnt had it long and its fine for his use,so if anyone has help id be gratefull,thanks Tedseed10

.

Punctuation, and white spaces help people read, and to answer. Run-on sentences are nasty.

Just a thought.

That dot sounds like you are in the calibration screen.Make sure you have a good charge on the unit. Connect gps to computer and let it for a while to get good charge.Once charged up do a hard reset.Make sure to save copy of your favorites before doing this. Hold finger on lower right corner of gps screen while turning it on.Keep finger pressed until pop up window appears.Touch yes to clear all user data.
