I left the menu system in tact (2nd/night theme) because I didn't think it needed a change. You can change it if you like, obviously! I liked the grey/brown with white text scheme.

Just remember to change the start-up warning message in the navboot unless you want yours to read like mine!!!

Hi guys,
just wanted a bit of advice please?

My nav constantly reboots on its own now.

I loaded my custom v32 about 2 months ago and this has only started happening over the last couple of weeks.

From experience, does anyone know if this is OS or hardware related?

thanks!

Hardware: it is a weak laser, causing data corruption when reading the map cd

You said in an earlier post:

For that, no soldering is involved.

Have a look at the map disc and see if it has any surface blemishes too, this wont help, Also if you have a cd map try that, and see if the problem goes away.
