I was driving through Fort Lauderdale listening to MP3's through my FM Transmitter, When it was time to announce a turn, the voice started to spazz out, I lost all sound and the Roads disappeared! I had to restart the unit to get the roads back, still no sound, I restarted a second time, now I have voice back! Does this have anything to do with my MP3's on SD Card?

With garmin units there really is no way of knowing. I'd say there's a 33% chance it was caused by glitchy software, a 33% chance it was caused by defective hardware, and a 33% chance it was caused by your mp3's. The remaining 1% accounts for solar flares or alien radio communications which interfered with your gps.
Very interesting! I
Very interesting! I experienced EXACTLY the same issue today in the afternoon...

A Small Computer
The way I look at it, a GPS is just a small computer. Every once in a while it goes wonky and I have to reboot it.
Note: "Wonky" is a highly techincal term.

used to happen with my 765T
back in the early versions of the firmware, from the 2.30 or 2.50 as it came from the factory.
haven't experienced it probably since version 3.00, and of course now I am at 3.60.

Stirring the pot
According to the Space / Astronomy report, the sun is at it's lowest sun spot cycle of the 11 year period. Along with this, the brief report stated that Io, one of Jupiter's moons in conjunction with Jupiter has been very loud lately. Between Jupiter and Io, some many trillion watts of a DC signal may be responsible for creating lots of radio frequency noise.
