My BMW Navigator VI is possessed

[darrell]

I still have 3 old Garmin street pilot series model 2730 GPS units I use on my GSA bike and in the pickup. I purchased the first one in 2004 and later a couple of used ones when I found them for $75 or less. I have the same issues you are having with these. It is usually moisture getting under the screen which causes the issues you are experiencing. I just stick them in a bag of rice and put another one on the bike or in the truck letting the one dry out. I’ve replaced the screens on 2 of them for $25 each and the issue comes back over time.

And yes asking Garmin to resolve with a replacement is the best solution vs buying 50# of rice to continually dry them out.

And why would I be using a 15 year old GPS than can only hold the newest maps from 2012? Because the XM radio runs through these GPS units and I have a lifetime subscription.[attachment=323]
