Where do you get the "database error". That sounds like a Basecamp problem.
It does this when not connected to BC. BC will read/write to both internal and SD card. Perhaps BC corrupted the file(s) on the GPS, but it reads/writes more often to the card, and there is no problem there.
Whatever the initial cause, it seems I need to format the internal drive and return the Garmin to the out-of-box condition. I haven't found how to do this, but I did find how to run internal diagnostics (power on while holding the joystick). That reports RAM and ROM passing, but failure with "BMap and PMap." I don't yet know what those are.
Thanks again for help; can someone point me to the info on formatting the internal drive?
