  OK, the issue with my Garmin Colorado 400c is that it only works with batteries and NOT a power cord. The cause of the problem is this.(self inflicted)
  While snowmobiling this past weekend I took my Garmin along to log some new snowmobile trails, plugged into the 12v power accessory on my sled and away I went, worked great for some 100+ miles.... Until, I had a branch that was hanging in the trail hitting the GPS knocking it from the RAM mount (yes I hit it with some serious speed, 70+ mph), LUCKILY the cord held onto the GPS so I didn't lose it and my Wife didn't run it over with her sled.
After this fiasco I then realized the end of the cord was broken and I also realized later that internal plug for the power cord is also suspect due to the fact that I have tried another cord and also plugged it into my computer to upload my tracks and I get nothing (unless I wiggle the crap out of the connection.. It will come on for a second or two using this method)

SO, my question is this...
Can this unit be repaired and if so who can repair it?

Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / Loading maps onto Delorme PN30?
September 12, 2012, 05:28:30 PM
  I have a friend with a Delorme PN 30 and he would like to load some different maps (Topo and marine/Bluecharts) onto it.  Are they difficult to work with and what would he need to makethis happen?
Is there a website or a program similar to Basecamp he would need to use to do this?

Thanks in advance

I am in need of a pair of chargers for a Garmin Colorado (this is the larger USB port design not the mini one).

I would like to locate a 12v and a 110v Garmin charge cord if anyone has one laying in a junk drawer collecting dust.

As you can tell I lost my gps "supplies bag" and thankfully the Colorado wasn't in the bag the cords and SD cards were in or I'd be looking for a WHOLE new package.

If so PM me and we can go from there.

Thanks

  I loaded (pretty simply I must say) Topo maps to my new to me Garmin Colorado 400C but for some strange reason when I go to use the GPS out on the road or search none of the roads that are on Basemap. The ONLY way I can see/view them is if I move the pointer and THEN they pop up.

I checked to make sure the settings are correct, (they seem to be) but I can't for the life of me get this thing to properly display roads/trails etc. when I'm in the map mode.

Can anyone lend a hand?

Thanks in advance
