  1. Yesterday the "navigation" button on my Garmin Etrex GPS appeared to
    break, due to over-use I guess. What's happened is that the plastic
    "widget" underneath the button has come loose. One can still click
    with it but one can't navigate left, right, up or down round the menu
    system. Can anyone recommend a way of fixing this? I guess I could
    superglue it down, but the trouble is, one has to actually get inside
    the unit to access the "pad" underneath the button - it's not easily
    accessible.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Contact Garmin - they have been very good at repairing eTrex problems
    even out of warranty. And they are under ten miles from you...

    I can confirm that. Meant to post a message at the time but forgot to
    find the time.

    My Summit spat out its menu page button recently (probably in spite at
    my purchase of a newer model) and Garmin repaired it FOC.

    Well, you have been saying some nasty things about it! :-)
