i3 Stuck on Calculating Route 0%

Jemima Bless her, my i3 is now getting old. She seems to be going senile.
Very often sticks on "Calculating Route 0%" when first finding a route (even Home!) The only fix for this is a hold the off button reset, then she gets it right. I have tried waiting till 3/4 bars signal before programming and straight at power on. I have tried reloading the firmware, reloading just UK maps, cut down the number of POI, and even hard reset.
I have also noticed she stutters sometimes. At the "..take the .......pause....... 3rd exit"

Has anybody else had this? I think I should get more than a couple of years use from a gadget before replacing. Is she losing the plot Sad

?

She has v3.4, Audio 2.30 and a TopRam 512MB MicroSD.

Thanks for reply. Just done a Chkdsk on the card and all OK. Only using 145MB. I do have the old 256MB card, so could try a revert to 2.7 but I don't like the roundabout timing of voice.

Lester. I have now reformatted the original 128MB Transflash and restored its backup, reinstalled maps v8, removed and reloaded my POI. I will give this a test. I can only find a copy of 2.7, do you know where 2.82 Beta can be found? Many Thanks

Results:
I loaded 2.8beta and tried for a while. Had 1 freeze up during navigation. Custom POI's were not available. I struggled with the prompt timing.

So. Reset it, wiped the lot ,reloaded 3.4 v9 maps on the original SD.

It seems to be behaving now. Hope I get at least 1 more years work out of her.

Thanks for help guys.

My i3 got worse and was stating to lock up at 0% constantly. But I think I have the answer.! I have reduced the number of POI down to 40 including cameras. I know there is a limit of 85 categories causing the i3 to fail to boot, but it appears my unit may not even cope with 85. If it does it again I will have to retire her.
