I have been having issues with my Garmin Edge 705 seeing the map SD

In the time frame when I had the 705, I do not remember experiencing
that kind of trouble. Maybe once or twice the map would just disappear
suddenly.
There were clear bugs in the conversion of recorded traces from the
hidden internal format to the FAT file system in the internal memory.
The bugs would slightly change between firmware updates, but never get
fixed.
I’ve been reading that downgrading then upgrading might take care of
issue with the 705.
If the issue is some corruption of an internal database, maybe a factory
reset (hold Mode while powering up) would help? I remember that the list
of recently searched places would appear corrupted whenever the map was
updated. Maybe it will get too corrupted if the gmapsupp.img is updated
sufficiently many times?
If the issue is dirt, have you tried taking apart the Edge 705 to clean
the contacts of the card slot? You should only need a Torx screwdriver.
If I remember correctly, there is something attached with a cable to the
back cover. Maybe it was the battery or the SD card slot. No soldering
should be needed.
Would it be possible to get the file 3468836 Edge605_705_310.gcd from
you?
I still have the files, but I cannot guarantee that they did not get
spontaneously corrupted, because I did not store any checksums
separately. I have expericenced spontaneous corruption a few times for
photos that had not been accessed for years.
