[QUOTE="xsnrg, post: 945978, member: 54994"] I just got back from WV riding with a Garmin 60CS (60 with color screen) mounted on my handlebars. It worked great for the first 2 hours or so, but after that it would keep shutting itself off. I couldn't tell if it was something inside that had vibrated loose or if the vibration and bumps had anything to do with it. I put some pieces of rubber band between the batteries and the battery cover thinking they may have been getting knocked loose enough to loose power momentarily, but it did not seem to help. It was great while it worked though! It all came to an ugly conclusion when I did a slow motion endo on a steep downhill singletrack. The 220 landed squarely on the GPS unit and cracked the base of the antenna and the case. The unit still worked when handling it gently, but it is going to have to be sent in for an overhaul...$100 flat rate according to Garmin. BTW...their "customer support" line is a joke. They put you on hold telling you it will be a 15-20 wait to get to a customer support rep and every 30s they tell you to go to their website for answers. I am convinced that they just put everyone on hold with that message for 15-20 hoping you'll hang up or lose the call. If anyone gets through in under 15 minutes, I'd love to hear about it. [/QUOTE]
