GO6100 map update fails every time

I am trying to update my GO6100 to the latest map but this seems to keep failing every time.
I have tried different SD card (I tried 3 different 16GB Sandisk Ultra cards).
Sometimes it fails after transferring 20% of the map, the next time 10%, the next time 56%, etc.
I tried 6 or 7 different USB cables (including the TomTom supplied cable) and just about all the available USB ports on my PC.
MyDrive connect correctly sees the SD card and says that it wants to install the map on the SD card.
I have also tried a fatory reset of the device and a forced re-install of the software. The SD cards can be formatted in the device just fine.

Or... Instead of UN-installing & RE-installing MyDrive Connect
I find deleting the "HOME3" and the "MyDrive Connect" folders in the MyDrive Connect Program... To be just as effective for giving MyDrive Connect a CPR...
