Title: Re: garmin gone nuts Post by: BarrNinja on May 16, 2010, 08:14:04 am It sure sounds like some moisture got to it some how. I have had electronics go nuts on me like that just because of condensation from rapid temperature changes.
Maybe Garmin could shed some light on it. Try giving them a call Monday. Title: Re: garmin gone nuts Post by: bayed up on May 16, 2010, 09:12:34 am Hey Goose it sound like some moisture got in it.
