Thread: Nuvi 1410 very slow to load maps

Ok, so what I have done now is;
0. removed the SD card.
1. Cleared Non Vol memory - still same slow boot an load of maps
2. Tried another Hard reset - still slow
3. Tried Defragginig - analyzing drive stops/hangs at 98%. Had to stop the process.
4. Deleted all maps in .System except the original gmapprom.img - still slow
5. Installed SD card.
6. Renamed gmaprom.img to .imgg
7. Copied /Map/gmapsup.img to SD card, deleted all in /Map in Garmin - Still very slow boot & map load
8. now windows7 finds data errors in the Nuvi when connecting - had it autofix the errors... then unable to connect to Nuvi again without restarting it
9. Now, when I connect the Nuvi, Win7 finds errors on the Nuvi, autofix every time, but some unrecoverable errors...
10. removed SD card, now with no valid maps - still slow
11. Ran DOS prompt chkdsk /F - three different file errors fixed on the Nuvi 1410
12. looks like it is back at full speed again...!!!

SO, my question now is;
Could there be any incompatibilities when running files and maps back and forth from the Nuvi to an Mac OSX machine? I noticed that OSx places some system files, like .Spotlight on the Nuvi...I know I did delete some of the vehicles that ended up in .Trash and these dragged along for many months. So far I've been unable to clean them out completely...
Any known or plausible problems???

CHKDSK /F in a Command window on the Nuvi fixed all problems and all is good and full speed ahead !!!
It actually starts a few secionds faster than my Nuvi 1390...
