Hi, and thanks for your quick response,

I can check the firmware version, that's a good thought.

This is my first OSM map.  I've never seen this problem with the GPS unit before, and it started immediately after I loaded the map.  I'm on OSX, and I copied into a folder called "Garmin" on the device using USB mass storage mode.

I'd be incredibly surprised if this problem was caused by the OSM data
or the mkgmap build process.  I have successfully used many OSM maps
on my GPSMap76Csx (though, admittedly, not Haiti) without this issue.
Are you running the latest firmware?  And have you tried other OSM maps?
