Garmin

Products and Services... Just bought a new accessory or product for your bike? Or bought new riding kit? Do you love it, think it's great? Or do you think it's poor, a complete waste of money and wish you never bought it? Or paid for a service, been ripped off and the job was not up to spec? Either way, share your experiences and write ups here! Feel free to name and shame if you so wish!

£24.99 for power/audio lead to connect Streetpilot to bike. Broke down and stopped working on day 8 of use from new. Quality stuff, please join me in applauding Garmin :clap: :clap:

Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.

Reefer, Tim... bastids :mrgreen:

I've sent the faulty lead back and awaiting new one. Garmin was generally quite accurate and useful, and once I lost it's services I felt vulnerable. However, it does sometimes infuriate when it insists you turn left and as soon as you turn left it shouts out "recalculating" as though fuckwit driver took the wrong turn (only one turn to take at the time of the instruction, so Garmin's the fuckwit, so there).
