No. AFAIK, Nuvi 300s and 600s do not support custom keyboard and messages.

I downloaded the MFM_English.gtt (Nuvi 2x0W/2x5W or Nuvi 7xx) and Copy the MFM_English.gtt to my Nuvi 255W's Text folder.
Bravo, it works.
Thank you bro antyong.

Thank you so much to antyong and the rest of you.. didn't know is possible to make changes to the keyboard.

I always have trouble using the original layout keyboard for my Nuvi 200, I am so used to computer keyboard "QWERTY"

This is my own custom keyboard layout for my Nuvi 200.

Due to Nuvi 200 is not wide screen, there is some limitation ;
1) The empty button is the "Space Bar" *
2) The nine "9" and zero "0" is at the last bottom row.

Feel free to download... credit goes to antyong.

Another interesting find....... the toggle button appears on the keyboard when I'm in the edit mode "change name" for my POI's. :-?
