Hello,
would suggest you reset the GPS and then proceed for the update again.
Follow the instructions below to reset and update your Garmin nuvi;
Performing a Standard Reset
1. Slide the power switch all the way to the left (with the Nuvi's screen facing you).
2. Hold the switch in the position for at least eight seconds.
3. Push the switch to the right to power the Nuvi back on.
Performing a Factory Reset
1. Turn your Nuvi off by sliding the power switch to the left.
2. Press your finger against the bottom right corner of the touchscreen. Hold your finger in this position.
3. Slide the power switch to the right to turn the Nuvi back on. Continue to hold you finger against the screen until you see the factory reset prompt. Tap "Yes" to perform the factory reset.
To update;
1. Plug one end of the USB cable into your GPS and the other end into your desktop or laptop computer. The GPS device will load the appropriate driver automatically, and a message on your GPS tells you that it is connected to your computer via USB.
2. Open your Internet browser of choice and type in the following web addres: "http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=999-99999-27 "
3. Download the appropriate version of the software for your computer (Windows or Apple) and Install the WebUpdater by following the wizard (accept defaults).
4. Click "Start," "Programs," "Garmin" and " WebUpdater" to update your firmware and your maps. Periodically check and make sure your software is current.
Good luck.

Hi, Thanks for your advice; this is exactly what I have done an hour ago, and I have reinstalled new city maps the uk and benelux, which I need most. It is now working ok. Also I think that the problem was with the webupdater, yesterday I used the one of my previous computer -a windows, instead of the Mac version.
So I am little proud that I was slightly ahead of you. Possibly you can use the Mac/Windows mix-up in your future advices to advice-seekers!
Thanks
