Garmin 182C not reading maps - Page 2

Dropped off the unit at Garmin HQ today, what an impressive sight their new premisses is. The service engineer came down and collected it to run some tests whilst I had a loverly cup of Tea and read T4 magazine. When he returned he said there was a definate prob with the card reader. So I'm paying a Fixed rate repair fee and should be supplied with either a customer returned unit or a brand new unit from stock and a 12 month warantee.

New unit turned up today, so another result from Garmin. Thanks guys!

And........Thanks to all who helped me try to resolve the issues with the old unit.

How much was that?

£85, not bad for a brand new Plotter that fixes directly in place of the other one with a 1 year Warranty.

No - that's not bad, especially with a 12-month warranty. Did they supply you with a new 182C, or a more recent variant?

Was a direct replacement. I wouldn't have wanted the newer ones anyway, they look pants and have smaller screens too.
