Best Present Ever
I have a 210 I'm having charging issues with, it doesn't want to charge and when I get it charging it doesn't hold a charge. Of course it's out of warranty so trying to decide weather to send it in and pay the money to fix or just buy another.

they don't send you a your unit back fixed, they send you a refurbished unit. I've had bad luck with the refurbs -- they have a very short warranty and I had one die within about 3 months. I'd gotten injured while the Garmin was out, and had only used it a few dozen times when it died. My only option was to pay and get another refurbished unit. I just bought a new one.
I have to scrape off both the unit and charger of my 201 whenever I charge it due to corrosion, but it's not a big deal.
Dude, how's the 8-track working in your Chevelle?

Doop...... After a 20 minute wait on the phone I just gave the guy my CC number for a refurbished unit. Oh well I'll send it in and give it a try,

what about replacing the battery? my garmin 405 is 3+ years old and has never had any issue until my last couple of runs. thing dies in just 2 or so miles into the run. hubby wants to try to replace the battery rather than buy a new garmin. thoughts? (oh and I always plug mine in after every run and leave it on the charger until the next run)
