    Yes, but why?
    Do not PM me with questions. That's what a forum is for.

    Ah Jeez! I usually get caned for saying too much. However, you Osiris pick on me for not explaining enough ..... I can't win.

    Short answer, I'm not sure why. But I think it's because eventually a boot cycle skips over loading maps and that's not by design, just a fluke. I've also seen healthy devices do that but rarely, where the map page doesn't have any roads or info showing just as if the device doesn't have a detail map loaded for the location. A re-booting of the misbehaving healthy device does fix that, provided it's because it's 'skipped' loading maps. Usually a hard-reset or clean nonvol is required which is because of a different problem again though, albeit the same symptoms with no map details.

    Happy now Mr Pedantic?
