hi,
so iv just been out for pizza and got there all fine and when got back on to go home the sat nav didnt turn on at all. its hard wired into my bike with ignition so it always comes on when i turn ignition on. this time nothing happened.
i got home and plugged it into the pc and still nothing. i held the button in for awhile and still nothing. i pressed the botton loads of times and it turned on?
is my unit going faulty again?
didnt turn on.

Re: didnt turn on.
I would plug it into a USB wall charger overnite and then try again. I'm not sure if a USB port on a PC supplies adequate charging which is why I suggest a USB charger. If that works then it may have become fully discharged due to a fault in the mount or wiring harness.

Not normal.
When did you buy it ? These units have a 2 year guarantee. Get in touch with Garmin they may recognise it as a fault and replace it by return of post.

Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Re: didnt turn on.
It doesn't matter, the remaining part of the guarantee is still valid. I would still discuss it with them. Unlike software faults, the front desk staff seem to be able to authorise a reconditioned unit. Ive had three over the years, and each time the replacement came back with new screen, the body looked brand new and the firmware was later versions than my original (not just the software that people often refer to as firmware - the permanently installed software for the various hardware devices like BT, MP3 etc). They always come back by return of post.
On another occasion, my guarantee had recently expired, and i had to send a cheque with the faulty unit which had been replaced not long before. They had run out of replacement 550s. They sent me a complete brand new, boxed 660LM and returned my cheque.
I cannot praise enough this aspect of their customer service.
