I have a Garmin 255w. Lovin' it! I updated the operating system and
it added the eco route option. But I don't like it. Is there a way
to disable it? For example, when I choose a destination, the GO bar
shows up and an eco route price slides out. I want that disabled. I
tried to put in 0.00 for price of fuel, but the unit wouldn't accept
that.

Hold the lower-right corner of the screen when you turn on the unit.
When the logo appears, let go and answer "yes" to the prompt about
deleting your data. This will reset the Nuvi.

Then, don't setup the Eco Route again.

Note that this will reset the GPS. Make sure you have saved your
Waypoints and any other information before doing this or you will
loose this information.
