Well I took the plunge, ordered one from Capital Outdoors in the club mag.  Arrived next day?  

Sets up easily enough but there were a few niggles.  How is one to set it up when it is so flat that it will not switch on?  plugging it into the computer gets a message saying' this computer cannot charge your device'  In the end I used the Samsung charger to get enough into it to complete the set up.

It would have been nice to have a wall charger with it given that it is well over £300.  

 

I already have a Garmin NUVI which I use daily in the works van which is the second one I have had in 16 months.  The first died on me 2 weeks after the guarantee ran out and would not switch back on despite all the hard resets I done and new battery fitted, probably because I took a two month vacation?

This brings me to the reason I have posted here because I wanted to ask how long the Nav will last fully charged but switched off until the next time we go away.  will it also die from neglect like the last one?

Not such a silly question when they were over £200 a pop and this one more again?

If anyone has had any experiences with Garmin Navs 'good bad & ugly' please feel free to tell me.

Cheers
