I don't know if 205w was ever sold in Indonesia, so i should have added in my previous answer, 'provided that you can obtain the Indonesian fw', behind my comment: 'then you should be able to flash the Indonesian fw to your unit to view the Indonesian JCVs'. I've checked the Garmin Indonesia site, but i don't understand Indonesian:

the Bing translation didn't help me much either:

Make your own inquiries with Garmin and/or their dealers locally there or search Noeman and other forums. Garmin seems to have a policy globally of removing older fw's from their sites so the fact that it's not available now doesn't mean that it never was, provided of course that the 205w was even marketed there. I've been able to obtain legacy fw for other device brands by contacting their support, but my experience with Garmin has been limited in that regard. Good luck.

PS: I see aekhong was unable to help you further with this problem in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Not a good sign imo unfortunately.

Garmin made a very bad choice calling that device 'Nuvi 295W'. I recall someone asking 'is a 295W like a 265W with ASR or something'. For a start, it's absolutely not a 2xx series, not even remotely. It's not even really a 'nuvi' in the traditional sense. As most would know, it's really a Garmin Nuvifone sans 'fone'. Such avoidable confusion, bad Garmin! Nothing posted in this thread is going to help you with modding your 'de-foned nuvifone' sorry.

hi, just wondering if this upgrade is only for wide screen models or will it work on my regular nuvi 255?
thanks

Read post #46 and check out the link there. Be prepared that maybe you'll be a bit disappointed with the overall results of EU>SG/MY though. Don't always expect everything to be perfect (incl. VCJ) with conversion of US/EU device to Asian fw. Read this entire thread first as well as the garniak link by catymag.

Don't flash any 2x5W fw to a 2x5.

Thanks to your guide I have changed the firmware from EU to SG/SY. Actually have 3.10 SG/SY version in my 255W. JV, Lane assist and the rest o features seems to work well. I'm satisfy with the results. Only have a drawback, the EU firmware is more up to date, for example has fix the keyboard response.
