Bro chlesoh, maybe you can try unchecking all maps listed at Map Info first.

Maybe you should perform hard reset (clear all user data)?

Turn off Nuvi, then press and hold lower right corner of Nuvi screen, turn on Nuvi, continue to hold (the screen) until you get the prompt to clear all user data, select Yes. Important: Before performing hard reset, back up current.gpx from ..\Garmin\GPX folder. After successful reset, rename backed up current.gpx to temp.gpx and place it in ..\Garmin\GPX folder. Note: After resetting Nuvi, it's also advisable to let Nuvi gather satellite data outdoors and stationary, until GPS fix is obtained.

TQ dvpro but it is the same even though I have tried your method. Perhaps need to send it back to the dealer for a thorough check.

Maybe you can try removing/uninstalling other maps (including in data card, if any) other than the preloaded maps, and verify if the same issue is encountered.
