I've finally half-solved my rebooting / looping Go720!
After slinging in the back of a cupboard for 18months I got it out last night and after trying lots of stuff mentioned in the forum, reformating, deleting files, and flash tools (way back)
Here's when I had the original problem...

But after a very late night I now have a booting 720....but only with my UK maps!
When I insert my 2Gb SDcard with my North_American_2Gb files into the unit....or copy that directory structure onto the built-in memory, and on a new SD card - and the looping problem comes back again.
I have also tried the delete configuration file fix to no avail.
It's actually a US purchased unit and the UK maps were an additional purchase.
Any ideas how I might get the North_American maps to work without the reboot problem?
Using HOME, even when looping, when connected to the Computer, HOME can see both Maps and is offering me an upgrade (at a cost of course).
So I think my options are:
1. Somehow fix the North_American Map
2. Pay for the upgrade and hope that solves the problem.
3. Ditch the old American Map and buy a new download.
Any thoughts or ideas very welcome?
thanks
