Sounds a lot like the memory filesystem corruption that has hit many people.

If you have trouble redownloading the maps from within the app, you
can try the instructions here:

I went through the same thing and reformatting the FAT32 internal card
from my computer while I had the tablet plugged into the USB port
worked like a charm. Update your OS2008 to the latest version too as
there were some fixes related to this problem relative to the version
that ships with the tablet.
