Thread: Nuvi 3590 keps crashing

Looking for help with a Nuvi 3590 which keeps crashing.

Symptoms as follows. When following a route the map stops updating properly instead of the map you see grey patches and the unit becomes very un-responsive. Turning it off and on restores the map but now the gps position of the vehicle is a little off the road usually running parallel. Another hard reset brings the unit back to normal for a while.

It first started happening when following a long custom route across Europe but now is happening on simple goto destinations (fairly local) and also when just in "view map" mode without a destination.

I'm wondering if it is a possible software or hardware issue. The unit has fallen out of the windscreen cradle a couple of times onto the dashboard but doesn't show any external signs of damage. The map NTU Europe 2015.40 is loaded on a SD card - the SD card and the internal storage on the unit have a fair amount of spare space. I have deselected all other maps in the unit so only the Garmin Europe map is active. Latest software on the unit I have tried a software factory reset - didn't help.

Any ideas welcome! Thanks.
