I'm not trying to advocate anything I shouldn't but this frustrates the
hell out of me!



You are supposed to throw away your perfectly good Garmin 180 and go to
Garmin to buy a new, proprietary-so-we-can-crap-on-you GPS ...so they can
repeat this procedure.

But, alas, you seem smarter than that....

I paid $12 for a Garmin GPS185 in perfect condition someone kept in the
shade of its cover all those years. It works great....er, ah, except for
the charts, of course.
