I have the same feeling. It first seemed odd that loading Blue Chart has
wiped out just nav-lights, but this is probably how it works - wiping out
additional database, but not the basemap itself.
Garmin has POI restoring program, it didn't bring nav-lights back. Then it
has POI Loader program - this one didn't want to see my device. As the Trip
and Waypoints Manager sees my GPS fine, I suspect it's time to update my 98
Windows :-) ... Garmin says so too - that these programs require Win
2000....
