Auto Turn On And Off For Garmin Nuvi 255w?
I received the Garmin Nuvi 255 fr Christmas and when I first used it, it would automatically turn on when I turned my car on (as the power cord was turned on) and then when the car was shut off, it would display “turn off or stay on, and would automatically turn off in 30 secs. Its just all the sudden stopped doing that. Is there a way to set it back up to turn on and off automatically????
there is a slide switch on the top, right side.
It is 3 position. far right is lock
center is on or off
slide far left and it turns on returns to center, slide far left again, turns off.
Are you using the GPS in a different vehicle? In some cars, the power to the cigarette lighter goes out when you turn off the ignition, and in other cars, the cigarette power stays on (running on the battery) even if you switch off ignition. In that case, the GPS stays on also since it’s still drawing power from the lighter.
