Question about Magellan Roadmate 2120T-LM GPS Vehicle Navigation System
Does not function properly after updates
Magellan support was actually pretty good helping me with the exact same issue. The problem (at least in my case) was that the map files were fragmented. I tried using the Windows defragmenter, but that made fragmentation even worse! The Magellan support engineer recommended I download UltraDefrag instead:
http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/en/index.html
Here's what I had to do to completely resolve my issue:
1. Download and install UltraDefrag
2. Connect my GPS to my PC
3. Move the MAP directory from my GPS drive (J:) to my hard disk
4. In UltraDefrag, make sure Action > Skip removable media is not selected
5. Run the optimizer (Ctrl-F7 or Action > Full optimization) after selecting the GPS drive (J: on my computer)
6. Copy the MAP files back to the J: drive AFTER optimization has completed
I double-checked the fragmentation after the files were copied and got 0%. After disconnecting the GPS from the PC, the unit rebooted and doing an address search no longer takes 15 seconds. POI searchs are also much faster than before.

Thanks so much for posting this. The same solution worked on my magellan 3055 which was running poorly after the latest updates. It's like a new device !
Great advise. Worked on my Roadmate 2220LM. Thanks.
Fantastic! This resolved the same issue on my 2120t and the maestro after software updates. Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for the advice, this was really helpful, i was getting frustrated as it kept freezing on me and i wasnt getting anywhere with it. Thanks so much!
i have the 2136t-LM and experienced the same slow down issue after a map update. Followed the defrag instructions and it worked great.Thank you Crep1206

How to reset it

I think the problem is with the internal power jack which tends to break. the part is MG361213 and is available at laptopjacks.com. You have to take the Unit apart and remove the old jack and resolder the new one which is a three pin unit.
Good Luck

turn off your unit with the slide switch on the top. Hold down the repeat button or the one beside the slide switch and then put the slide switch back to the on position. Then select hdd tools then format. exit out and turn the switch off and back on and it should work
