Folks,

My trusty Garmin 78sc doesn't seem to be able to find satellites any more. Fresh batteries do no good. Is it dead or is there a way to reboot it?

Contact Garmin. Even if it's out of warranty, the will frequently "repair" i.e. replace it with a refurb for very little money. I got a new 76csx a few years ago this way for about $50, IIRC.

Try this before sending in.
if you do send in let us know what it cost and if reliable. When yoy get "new" unit leave on for a couple of batteries worth and play with it. They seem to like to send "intermittent" items back into the field.

I tried the reset without any luck. I guess I'll have to call Garmin.

Thanks
