(I have no idea how to get map data back, presumably from within the program. I know it can be done, that's all I know.) If the AppMgr is acting up, well, then I am not sure what to tell you. (Both won't go bad at once unless it's not actually a problem with the memory.) Perhaps a reflash is in order - if there was corruption on the 256, that will fix it. If, however, you're just saying the 2gb shows up in file manager or whereever as write-protected (an average user doesn't know much about the 256 or whether it is write protected - I imagine that if it is you'd have some problems on bootup) then it's just that volume and a reflash won't make a difference, only a fsck or a format.
