I purchased my nüvi 660 on Boxing Day.

I've just downloaded the camera and poi databases from PGPSW and uploaded them onto my 2GB SD card via the beta poiloader.

Sadly the machine now crashes at the "loading maps" page and none of the solutions already posted here have worked.

Does anybody have any advise please? Would this problem be covered under warranty?

Many thanks

If you actually loaded them onto the SD card, have you tried starting up the Nuvi without the SD card installed?

However, others who have suffered a similar problem have been able to get the unit exchanged at the place of purchase (I guess Halfords).

like swing says, if the poi's are ONLY on the sd card then load it without the sd card. if it doesn't load still then i'd suggest that there is an error with the unit.

Thanks guys,

I tried starting up the nüvi without SD card without success. I also tried pre-boot mode and maintenance mode with no joy.

Halfords have now replaced and I've been able to erase the SD card.

Now I'm a bit nervous about poi loading! However - I risked the beta download on MaFt.co.uk and it worked perfectly!

Cheers

the issues appear to be with the number of categories loaded... the i3 has a limit of 85 but the nuvi's seem weird really... some work fine with all categories, some just keel over and die... i've not been able to kill my nuvi yet so can't work out why others' are doing it
