If your nuvi 205 series device is freezing on the map screen but still providing voice prompts there are two steps you can try to resolve the issue including updating the software using Garmin Express and performing a master reset.

To Download Garmin Express:

Note: Before updating the software make sure your device is fully charged.

1. Go to  Updating Automotive Maps and Software with Garmin Express
2. Follow the on screen instructions.

To Perform a Master Reset on your nuvi 205:

Warning: A master reset will erase all waypoints or favorites and will restore your unit to the default factory settings.

1. Start with the unit OFF and unplugged from power
2. Touch and hold the lower right corner of the screen with an index finger or the eraser end of a pencil
3. Continue touching and holding the lower right hand corner of the screen then power the unit ON
4. Release the power button when the device powers ON
5. Remove your finger from the touchscreen when the message ‘Do you really want to erase all user data?’ appears
6. Touch Yes

The device will now be reset and you should no longer experience the freezing issue.
