C530 Shuts Off When SD card Is In slot...

Scott you said
If I erease all the POI's and just put a few on as a test ,

I would suggest that you load one set of files at a time and maybe you can see which one is giving you the fit.

I corrected that typo, thanks! Anyway I guess I could load one set of files at a time, but then again I am not convinced it is one of the files. I think its a software issue with the unit. That is why I posted here to see if someone has experienced the same thing and has found a solution. Thanks!

Do you have another card to put in your C530?
What about reformating the card and not putting any data on at all?

The SD card seemed Ok. I actually deleted all POI's on it and started loading some files by themselves and the card worked fine with no effect on the unit. I wonder if it's possible to actually have too many POI's and the c530 rejects it. I use the proper format for folders and subfolders and never had a problem till recently. POI loader when completed says everything was loaded successfully. If the problem persists I will try another SD card and see what happens.

Do you think that you may have a problem with the loader,which one are you using? Just a thought.
I had a SP530 and never had a problem with poi's, altho i hadnt loaded a bunch, maybe 3-400 at the most.

I have been using the same POI loader since around January this year. I never had a problem and POI loader indicates no problem. As far as it being the POI loader causing the problem, I would not rule it out at this time. Thanks!

I would try deleting the last POI's you downloaded (one at a time), since your Nuvi was working prior to downloading the last few. It seems that you ran in to the problem after this.

Try loading half of the poi's in the card and see if it work's if it does not work then try the other half. Try to verify it that way.

Well I loaded all the POI's I have saved (over 900,000) but did not load the new Railroad crossings files that I recently downloaded. Everything loaded OK and I do not have a problem anymore. I am not saying there is anything wrong with those files but for some reason they are having an effect on my unit. I will try loading the combined xx-crossings file instead of each stste indivdually and see what happens.

I now loaded the file RR-XXings all states combined no signals and everything is ok. Since evrything is ok now I will leave it alone and see how it goes.

Glad to hear you got it going again. Terrible when things dont go right. and specially when they go left. lol.
