The new Garmin software version 3.00 (2010-05) is now available for Sing/Mal version of Garmin Nuvi 205/205w/255w.

This version will enable multi-language voice resources support to the unit. After successful update, run WebUpdater and you will find more language options available to install into your GPS navigator.

Here are the steps I have taken to successfully updated my Nuvi 255w.
Download the installation file from Garmin’s website (link provided at the end of this article). The filename is nuvi255W_SG_v300.exe with the size of 10,976kb.

Remove the SD card (that I use to store additional maps) from the GPS slot.

Connect the GPS to my computer with USB cable and access to its storage.

Rename the file /Garmin/GPX/Current.gpx to /Garmin/GPX/temp.gpx. During the update process, a new Current.gpx file will be created and data in this temp.gpx will be restored to the new Current.gpx. If this step is not taken, you might lost your saved waypoints and/or favourites.

Delete these 3 files from /Garmin/Voice folder:
English_American_Jack.vpm
English_Australian_Karen.vpm
English_British_Daniel.vpm
Don’t worry, they’ll be replaced with new version of voice files during the update process.

Run the nuvi255W_SG_v300.exe from the computer. It will copy over some files to the GPS.

Safely unplug the USB cable and let the GPS reboot by itself. You will see the message of “Software loading…” on the screen of the GPS while it is performing the update.

In less than half a minute, the GPS will automatically reboot itself after the update is completed.

Now the GPS is loaded with new software v3.00 (successfully updated from the previous v2.80).

Meanwhile, software version 2.50 (2010-05) is also available for Sing/Mal version of Garmin Nuvi 1350/1460 now.

Recently Facebook just announced Facebook Zero or better known for 0.facebook.com. This basically is a lightweight text only version of Facebook which aims to allow Free access to mobile users on supported telcos. It was launched with more than 50 telcos worldwide.

This is great news if you’re a facebook addict who doesn’t want to get on an unlimited data plan just to update your status messages or check what your buddies are up to on the go. The tie up between Facebook and DiGi will allow all DiGi subscribers to enjoy cost-free access to the wildly popular social networking site.

There are a few catches however. The new site is designed to be faster then Facebooks core website as well as its traditional mobile site, but will not display photos by default. Clicking on an external link will bring up the pictures, but these will cause data charges to be turned back on. A popup confirmation will be displayed before you are allowed to leave the cost-free Facebook site.

Lowyat has reported that DiGi too is in the running to implement Facebook Zero. Once this is implemented, DiGi users can access Facebook for free with this light version. Free Facebook access, who would complain? We tried now with our DiGi SIM but the site says that our current network is not supported yet.

Facebook is promising to get more mobile carriers onboard their cost-free mobile edition, so watch this space for updates. Let’s hope this will come true soon even if it means DiGi willing enough to sacrifice some of its revenue on its Facebook SMS Service.
