Handheld GPS Problems

[ALAN_50501]

i have a garmin etrx legend..its only 2 years old when i have it on ill get some funky lines across the screen or if i set it down somewhere when its on it will turn it self off...ive put new batteries in it and it still does it. my question is this....garmin wants 99.00 to go through it prices include complete factory overhaul to new required specifications Prices include the latest software where applicable. go this way or go buy another one they are like 170.00 at walmart and most stores ive been looking and you can get them cheaper off ebay..i really like this etrex legend.. what could be wrong with it??i just got back from tampa flordia and it worked fine the time i was down there....could it be somewhat the cold weather??


thanks guys alan

Call the company. I lost a battery cover and called them about replacing it they sent me one free, no questions asked.

I would go buy a new gps rather then pay $99 dollars. I currently have a 4 year old garmin etrx and have been having problems with the joy stick not working. I know two other people with the same problem. Im planning on getting the Lowrance Ifinder H2O color unit, because I also fish and it takes the navonics lake software.
