You are right.
This time I have tried by removing all SRTM files plus those deemed to be unnecessary files as well but keeping all Pois files instead. It work.
Thanks for all your reply and helpful advices.
Thanks.

To import or export routes, Nuvi must support this feature. Models such as 765 have this feature.

On handhelds, just run mapsource, hook up your device and select from mapsource pull down menu, "Transfer - Receive from Device". The tracks should be transferred.

To view, select the Routes / Tracks on left hand side menu.

There is a few methods to resolve that problem, one of it is this one:

Next, select "Mapset installed" items with Error status and select "Uninstall". That should remove offending mapset(s) and should enable Mapsource to run normally.
