    You're welcome.

    Keep in mind that GarminExpress may insist you update fw before allowing further Lifetime Map updates. I'd allow it to update only if it's a later version than V5.90 otherwise your problem is most likely to return. If you need to load new maps you can still allow a fw upgrade to V5.90 and then use the card again to downgrade back to V5.40 after the map update. Any version of fw after V5.90 most likely will not cause the same errors as V5.70 & 5.90.

    To use the card again you must first remove the file named "last_id.bin" that has been created in the 2270 folder. The other newly created file in there named "update.log" can remain.

    @Butters it seems my announcement of success was premature as the problems have recurred today. I will describe chronologically what has happened.

    6th Sep
    20:00 – Firmware revision 5.40 successfully loaded

    7th Sep
    06:50 – Leave home
    07:10 – Passed through morning location without problem
    07:20 – Arrived at work and reconfigured Bluetooth (had been cleared by firmware update)
    17:00 – Leave work
    17:10 – Passed through evening location without problem
    17:30 – Arrive at home and set Home location on Garmin using Current Location option

    8th Sep
    06:50 – Leave home
    07:10 – Garmin crashed at usual morning location
    07:20 – Arrived at work
    17:00 – Leave work
    17:10 – Passed through evening location without problem
    17:11 – However, Garmin crashed at location 1 km further than usual

    I am now thinking this is all Bluetooth related, but once configured, disabling Bluetooth does not eradicate the problem
