It worked. I had to go back to the previous version, 4.6 and reinstall the latest version and it resolved the problem.

thanks for the suggestions.

Sometimes I just get lucky !

Thankyou for trying that, and for the feedback. - I knew that it was possible, but had never done it before, so I had to verify that it would work on mine before suggesting it.

But it is really useful to know that it solved that particular problem. I should have suggested a cold reboot or a restore original settings first - but you mentioned that it happened after a software update, so it seemed to be the way to go.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

This started happening to me on my recent trip to Bosnia. So in my case its having issues synchronizing GPX tracks, its randomly reboots itself every 30 second to 3 minutes for two days, it shows me tripadvisor bullshit near my destination and shows me my speed, together with incoming speed limits, which I can't turn off.

I'm done, no more Garmin crap in my life, I'm selling this POS.
