Cheap rubber buttons prone to cracking

2 years ago
Bought this GPS several years ago. I see that it is now discontinued. My biggest beef is that the rubber wore out on the buttons and now, I can not scan in and out. This unit did not get a lot of use considering the wear that it incurred. Garmin should be able to utilize premium rubber components on its units...not the inferior rubber mixed with plastic that cracks in cold weather. I'm very hesitant to purchase another Garmin GPS for fear the rubber buttons will incur the same state. This seems to be a very common failure, even though electronics still function.

No, I do not recommend this product.
