Databases not rebuilt on boot
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2019 9:25 am
Hello,
yesterday I had the strange issue that my GPSMap 66st did not rebuilt its internal databases at boot time.
I tried everything from the book - removing/adding SD card, adding tracks, routes, Geocaches - nothing worked.
(I could see it did not rebuild as a route I removed the .gpx file was still visible when I chose "Find" / "Routes", when selecting the (non-existing) route the GPSmap crashed) - also geocaching .gpx files I added did not show up. This happened both with sd card and internal storage.
I was nearly to give up and do a master reset until I made one last try with batteries instead of using USB power like I did before, and for whatever reason it then rebuilt the database and everything is working again.
I know that this is not much of an error report as I could not (and really do not want to) recreate the error, but perhaps someone else picks this up and can supply more information on how to force a database rebuild.
best regards
Wolfgang
