Garmin GPS

Irish Mist · 01-03-2009, 02:27 PM

I have an older model Garmin GPS that has a dead internal battery. Can anyone tell me if it's cost effective to replace the battery or just purchase a new unit?

Thank You,
Dennis

Dennis, I have an older 182C GPS that I sent back for repair at a cost of 175 bucks. I've had this unit since they came out with the model. I'ts used as a back up now but never had a problem with it till this year.

I've also sent my new hand held unit back for not locating sats and they sent me a new one.

I e-mailed customer service with my problem and they responded very quickly, best bet is to call or e-mail them.
