Yes this is what I am worry of. Maybe regions are mistaken or something else? And the time is wrong also.

I haven't seen stuff like this. Maybe someone else can help.
As far as I remember you've already erased the internal flash drive. Now we've erased nonvol memory. In most cases this is enough to reset the device state completely.

Ok. Is it possible the antenna unit is broken or region file must be replaced with one from Europa device?
And now how to revert device to its previous state?Last edited by bobokom; 5th November 2013 at 07:58 PM.

There are no such thing as "region file". Yes, most probably it's a hardware problem. But wait for someone else like ddabcd277, lolypop000, or Neil to come and help or ask them in private.
In order to restore nonvol memory, proceed as before with the following archive: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
You can't restore the internal flash drive unless you've made a backup before formatting it. But you don't need doing it anyway.

Ok. Thank you very much for the efforts to help me. I will wait for someone else to help if they have the same issue with another device like mine.
Thank you very much again and be happy!

Does anyone know why a device bought in South Africa will always offer South Africa first at the choose country screen after hard reset ?

They are 'localised' for the market in which they are sold. Ostensibly the default locale setting is for the user to easily and quickly select their correct locale. However, I suspect it is also linked to the localisation which prevents you adding an LM subscription other than the one same as the OEM map and obtaining ancillary files for a one-off purchase of an area or country not the same as the original map. This is not a firmware function as US/EU/AUNZ/SAf/SAm etc all use the same fw, so it must be linked to the unit's Registration and Unlock codes shown in GarminDevice.xml as written into rgn41 of NV memory. Kunix and Loly would know more i think

Otherwise it may possibly be a partial hardware failure ...

It needs more than 4 to go ready to navigate. +- 7 with data the first time.
Do the lines turn blue ?
When the lines turn from hollow to blue it means that it has captured data from satellite.
Try to go to simulation mode and set location to your house. Then put nuvi in power saver mode and then wake it up again.
I do this trick when I travel to UK and it seems to help a bit.
You must set display timeout to never !The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
