On attempted use the other day, the map on my nearly 2 year old Navigator VI was vibrating and the unit would not accept any input by touch or from the wonderwheel. The unit could not even be shut off except by removing the battery door.
At home after the ride, I attempted various reboots and screen recalibration; nothing really fixed the problem. Every once in a while during my efforts, the unit seemed to work just right for a minute or two, then didn't again; random changes of screens, rebooted instead of shutting down, no input from the screen. You name it.
When I called Garmin support and told them only that my Nav VI had lost its mind, the tech support guy described the problems before I could say another word, and told me to send my Nav VI back for warranty replacement. So, I'm guessing this is a known problem; has anyone else here had similar?
Needless to say, I hope Garmin has worked out the bugs ...
