A word to the wisew...on Garmin
I called Garmin Support today to discuss a recurring problem I have
with a new chart plotter. Seems the screen has a delicate, oh so delicate film placed on it to improve readability in daylight, (which is a problem with Garmin)...The coating had spots on it ......assumed water or salt so I washed it with Windex and wiped with a paper towel.....This destroyed the screen coating, null and voided the warranty. Their cleaning solution is Distilled water and micro fiber cloth only on the screen...sounds well suited for the marine environment, don't you think? What happens when the waves come in...the rain falls or heaven to Betsy get soap and water on it when washing of the beer and pretzels that have stuck to it over the weekend...I started with Garmin's 210 series great...big screeen readable charts dependable..now it's small screens, bad charts and delicate Gamin's business interest have shifted and now putting out cheap auto GPS units helping lost soles find the closest Wendy's....is the priority |
