Yeay... :thumbsup:
Same time when im checking the website.
Wanna try whats new inside.


Had upgraded my Taiwan 255W to V3.30. Now I regret doing it. With V3.30 the Japanese keyboard is gone! It is not that I am using it everyday but why should we have less feature with this new update? It will be useful when we go to Japan for holidays or for works. Tried re-install 3.0 back but the keyboard is still not there. Anyone knows how to re-install Japanese keyboard back into Taiwan 255W? Please advise. Thanks.

Have you tried hard resetting Nuvi (press lower right corner of screen, turn on Nuvi, keep pressing until you get the prompt to delete user data, and select Yes)?
