    Etrex Problem

    Hi,

    Moderators, not sure if the is the appropriate section to post this (if not kindly just move or let me know).

    I have a problem with eTrex HCx, the unit works fine on it's own but I found out a month or 2 ago that the unit would shut down if I connected the PC cable (whenever I wanted to download and organize new trail tracks). Alternatively, what I did was to plug in my SD Card (coming from the eTrex) into my computer and load that into mapsource instead. I am just looking at this as a workaround so that I am able to keep synchronizing maps/tracks between mapsource and my eTrex.

    I brought the unit to Navco and was told that if I wanted to have the unit serviced, it would cost P12K, whatever they found. I was a bit surprised since it's almost the same price (even a bit higher) than what I paid for when I bought the unit. Am now thinking if I should just buy another unit or still have this repaired. Or is there anybody out there who knows how to fix these problems?

    If I do buy another unit, can I request to register my unit again so I can register the contributor's map on my new unit?

    Many thanks!
