gps for on and off-road

Answer: corroded battery connections

Question: what can:

1. Cause a funny popping noise when pressing the starter button.

2. Cause complete electrical outage for a few minutes.

3. After a few minutes, appear normal until you press the starter button again.

4. Appear perfectly fine, but be corroded on the hidden electrical contact surfaces.

All cleaned up now. Wondering if I should coat with dieletric grease _before_ assembly, to keep down the corrosion. ( I can coat with dielectric grease _after_ assembly, but it doesn't seem as effective).

What do others do? thanks, Chris

Chris, 

As preventive maintenance, I take every connection apart on any bike I buy and coat with dielectric grease. Including battery posts. For sure , if you need to disassemble any switch, coat it also. Pays big rewards down the road.

Hey Buddy If you have an older sister, you missed 1 thing, Being able to OUT RUN HER. LOL I had the Forrest Gump leg braces/shoes until 4.5 -5 years old. My sister ENJOYED picking on her little brother. (Especially If I wouldn't do HER dish's.)  She was also more like my mother (raising me) and best friend.(RIP Jane) On Wednesday, September 10, 2014 3:10 PM, "Buddy Eckles buddyeckles@...

I WILL have to look into dates etc., As a Shriner we have 22 Childrens hospitals, NO COST TO FAMILY, & Families Income is NOT an issue.   I am 1 of MANY Volunteer Drivers, 2 guys take the family (some times 2-3) to the hospital needed. (from west Mi. most likely Chicago or Cincinnati OH. but at times as needed else where, I have friends that drive to Chicago from Denver.) again NO cost to family. And As a Scottish Rite member, we have 1 on 1 Tutoring & Teacher (tutorer) training, for Dyslexia.  Bottom line,..... YES I like helping children. PS.

However, there are no updates available for these units, no repairs by Garmin and require the use of Map Source software. Map Source is no longer being updated as Garmin now uses Base Camp program. Also memory capacity for these older units are very limited. To buy one of these units is not practical for future uses. Truly the Montana is the way to go and GPS City will sell you a complete moto bundle including the Ram mounts and they have an ADV coupon/discount. Of corse the MOntana can be hard wired to the bike. I purchased the Garmin Oregon since it was less expensive versus the Montana and very similar functions. However the screen is a bit small to read while riding. The Oregon is considered the ideal hand held unit preferred by Geo Caching folks. One may also consider the Gamin Zumo. This GPS is truly the Cat Daddy for auto as well as moto. Many RTW riders use the Zumo. www.advrider.com has a whole forum dedicated to GPS. Just my 2 cents worth and my last 4 day camping trip in the 4 corners I used the Oregon to navigate Navajo roads that were not illustrated on any maps I had.

They will run off of 12 volts. From what I found out last year, the latest iteration of the venerable GPS 76--the GPS78 still has the waterproof NMEA plug in the back and will take 12V, That is probably the most compelling reason to use one of these units VS some of the newer GPS units which use a small USB port for power and have been problematic and need an adapter for 4.5 V. The hand held GPS units which use AA batteries should be run empty and powered from the bike. to prevent the battery contacts from breaking off or making a bad connection (the weak point of these units when used on a dirt bike.) A lot of people bad mouth Garmin, but they still have the best overall system and tech support. You have to pay for that. Many users mean that different maps will be needed whether backpacking, boating, driving, or even flying. It works extremely well for a variety of users. It takes some education, and has a learning curve. Making/sharing your own routes and tracks in Mapsource, and then going out and riding them have really revolutionized back country travel. I would have never attempted the Trans-America Trail solo without complete confidence that I knew exactly where I was going. You might say I would bet my life on it. I had a buddy who was big on the cell phone navigation apps. He was not too happy when he got somewhere with no cell coverage and found out that the navigation no longer works.
