    The voice, xml and other files on the Garmin device take up only ~5MB. So hopefully very less chance of getting corrupted. I've plugged in an old 8GB SD Card and the maps load like a charm. This combo works for me.

    Thanks again for everything!

    Am on SW version 5.40.

    The whole infinite reboot issue started when I updated to a large map (which most likely got copied in a corrupt state).

    Am getting disk errors reported by Windows Scandisk, Norton Disk Doctor and HD Tune. Have also seen files get corrupted on the drive and Found.000 folder(s) being created. All point to classic symptoms of bad sectors.

    Disk error is not uncommon for Garmin device. But usually I have not any problem after correction because it are only tails of temporary files...
    Garmin, how much is 30 pieces of silver for Judas today? Were they worthy for crucifix of GPSPower?
