One more problem related to my current Nuvi.
As of today, while riding, the Nuvi restarts itself every few minutes....like it is turned off and then back on. It is connected to the USB port on the dash. Can't yet determine if it is vibration related, or a bad/intermittent electrical connection. jb

I checked the cable for continuity, and wiggled both ends of the connection, but could not get the GPS to restart on command. Then I plugged the GPS into the cigarette lighter port, and I thought the problem was solved. However, on a two hour ride, the GPS restarted itself 4 times. That was better than the dozen of more times when plugged into the USB port. What are the chances that both ports have a bad connection? For a final test, I used the GPS on only the internal battery.....and during a two hour ride......no restarts.... So it seems like the problem is in the cable or usb/lighter ports, not the GPS. Think I will wire the GPS directly to the battery, and see what happens. jb
