I've noticed that after updating the NavData or Obstacles, I'm not sure which database, on the IFD 440's old user profiles are recreated from the previous owner of the aircraft and the user profiles that I created are no longer listed. Anyone know the fix for this? Is this old data being transferred from the USB which has the updated Navdata on it?

Assuming you're talking about the user profiles on the Setup page... Unlikely that it's from the USB stick. But this sounds strangely similar to the nav database load affecting brightness. I'll have tech support contact you.
