They are sending me one. For a little less than $300, I pulled the trigger.

Good for you. I am pleased with my 702B Pro so far. Lives on the Triumph.

We had a few warm days, recently and I decided to break out the RS, which has been ignored for the last few months. Surprise, my NavVI decided to finally join the ghosting club. Emailed Garmin and had a response within the same day. I’ll get shipping labels late March, as they’re out of stock right now.
One thing I noticed in the email that I don’t think I’ve seen in this (lengthy) thread is the replacement unit will have a capacitive glass touchscreen as opposed to the original resistive layered touchscreen, per their email description.
Guess I’ll find out in a month or so if this is an actual solution to the problem.

Dave, I guess this is your first failure / replacement? 

I have had one replacement years ago and so far it has been holding up. At the time when I got mine there was no talk of a replacement screen type (capacitive vs resistive) and I suspect that mine may be the same type as before.

I have 2 Nav VI units.  One has the old style screen and other has the new screen.  New screen is super sensitive to touch and I find works best with a glove on.  I seldom attempt to enter anything on the new screen when moving as you get close to a number or letter it accepts.

Why 2 - found the new one still in the shipping box on Craigs List for $250.
