How old is the unit? Possible planned obsolescence?

Have you tinkered with phone based navigators like Google Maps or Waze?

Download “Garmin Express”, the desktop software used to update Garmin GPS’s.
Then sync your GPS using a USB cable to your PC and do a map reload.

Great to see they're all buggy pieces of ****, I have a TomTom and it acts up on the regular.
