I have seen something similar, but only when i copy a map to the gps, rather than copy it to the sd card and then put the sd card into the gps, power cycling the gps after copying your new map may solve the problem
Again, thanks. In fact I remove the usdhc card from the Etrex - which involves removing the batteries -, mount it on a PC (under linux), place the map.img file into the /sdhc/Garmin/ directory, umount it and place back into the Etrex. That is my regular routine for updating maps which has worked for years. So as you see, power cycling the gps is inherent in the process. In any case, I changed the batteries anyway as a check when I first encountered the problem. ael
