Again, thanks. In fact I remove the usdhc card from the Etrex - which
involves removing the batteries -, mount it on a PC (under linux), place
the map.img file into the /sdhc/Garmin/ directory, umount it and place
back into the Etrex. That is my regular routine for updating maps which
has worked for years.

So as you see, power cycling the gps is inherent in the process. In any
case, I changed the batteries anyway as a check when I first encountered
the problem.
