peacenick Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 This morning I set my backpack in front of my mazda as I prepared to head to work and forgot about it. Needless to say I accidently drove over it. I checked inside and was horrified to notice that Garmin 60 CSX handheld GPS was damaged/dead. The LCD screen looks blotchy and will not turn on. This accident is my fault and am somewhat depressed about this. The Garmin website referred me to a company called Raytech, as I live in Canada. Can imy GPS handheld unit be repaired or is it a write-off? And if so, how much will it cost me? This is so depressing... BM Clark Calgary, Alta. Quote Link to comment
yogazoo Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Sorry to hear about your accident. I did the same to my Magellan Meridian Platinum. I sent it in and Maggie replaced the screen for 60 bucks! (in 2004) There is hope of getting it fixed cheaper than buying a new one! Good luck! Edited July 17, 2009 by yogazoo Quote Link to comment
+GrnXnham Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It's a "write-off" if you use your GPSr for business. Then the repair would be a business expense and a tax write-off. Quote Link to comment
+Dryphter Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I accidentally shot my first 60cx with a 9mm. It was beyond all hope for repair. So I replaced it with a 60csx when Garmin was giving 50$ rebates around christmas time a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment

+Night Stalker Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I suspect someone wanted to upgrade his GPS.... Quote Link to comment
