Thread: Very slow start up of nüvi 265WT

Sorry for the delay in my response. Other priorities popped up.

Placed a 5 kb size unlocked detailed map on the device. Made no difference. Also not when removing the SD card containing the other detailed map.

It appears RAM and ROM are both fine.

I am inclined to think the data in a particular rgn may be corrupt. After all, it takes 50 seconds until map data is being loaded. What is the device doing all that time? Probably reading rgn's. As mentioned, once the device is up and running, its operation is without any flaws or delays.
