    For what it's worth... I have a different model garmin that had issues early on. I replaced the data card and the problem went away, for awhile, then started happening again. Replaced the data card again, this time with a "high endurance" data card. Haven't had any problems in two years now ... use it every day for 8 to 12 hours.

    I speak from experience. Ask anyone that buys from Amazon.

    Yes, it(now) appears that GPS city was the seller and not Garmin.

    i will comment in greater detail on this matter when there is more time.

    FOR NOW,I OFFICIALLY TEMPORARILY RESCIND MY CONDEMNATION OF GARMIN.

    GARMIN IS STILL COOL.

    We don't know your specific problem, but in my case, the garmin dash cam would just freeze up. I wouldn't notice until later that the screen was frozen on an image from awhile earlier and that the thing had stopped recording.
