1490 LMT slow to start up

 

Hi all,

My 1490 LMT has been very slow to start up lately.

When I plug into car socket. It displays "loading maps" for 3 to 4 minutes before showing me the agreement blurb. Even when I press agree, the unit is very slow to react. Once it's on and running, everything works fine.

I've always made sure the latest firmware updates are done.
I'm loaded with 2014.10 with the large JCV file.

Is this the beginning of the end for my unit?

Thanks all.

Try these

Try clearing your trip log and see if that helps. If not, then try a hard reset.

Same unit

I have the same unit but have 2014.10 & large JCV file on SD card with no problems. Not sure if that would account for your slow boot-up or not.

slight improvement

Hi everyone,

2014.10 and large JCV file were already on external memory.

Cleared the trip log. No improvement.

Did a hard reset and now it takes 2 min. 47 sec. to get to the map.

A slight improvement but I feel its still too sluggish.

Other 1490 lmt owners. What are your start up times?

Thanks for all your suggestions.

My 1490LMT and 1450LMT are consistant with 18 seconds boot up.
Just a thought. Tools>Settings>Map>Info. Do you have more than one map?
2014.10 put the large JCV on the unit and the map on the card.
