The Garmin will run off a battery block plugged into the charging port. I’m as anal about stuff like this as anyone, but I can’t recall the last device that had a battery crap. I strongly suspect Garmin will service their unit if it comes to that.

Meanwhile, I’ll enjoy the convenience of the Garmin and worry about something else.

The new LR looks good. Didn’t take them long to shoot back…..


What fresh Hell is this?
