Hi to all garmin Sifu Sifu, I just got my Garmin set 255w in a week
, can Any one teach me how to Activate or setup the JUNCTION View?? thanks~
:) :) :)



Junction View is a feature that is embedded into firmware. It works automatically.

Take note that your set has to be a "Asian" local set for it to work.

Register at Garmin website with your unit ID# and you will find out if it is a local set or one from elsewhere of world.

Are you using Goozee?

GooZee is probably a China made GPS product and map support is questionable.
