Nuvi 265WT, roads disappeared

 

Anyone else seen this problem?

It started with my 265 randomly locking up and requiring a restart. Then it got so bad that the maps wouldn't load at all and hung at the loading maps screen.

I reloaded the maps and it was fine for about a day, then it just stopped showing any roads, it was as if the color for the roads turned white on the white background.

I tried reverting to factory defaults, tried night mode and reloading the maps, nothing worked.

Then I tried contacting Garmin and their support form would only cycle me back to the same page without submitting.

Finally I took it back to Costco, got a refund and purchased another 265WT. Hopefully it was just a hiccup in that unit. It had been working great for about a month before any of the troubles started.

Any theories as to what caused it?
