Great guide and very informative. Here is a replacement battery that is reasonably priced and it comes with all of the tools needed for installation. It even has a 1 year replacement warranty!
Thanks for the great instructions! Had I not given up on Garmin's video instruction I'm sure I would have destroyed my GPS. You saved the day for me. Again, THANKS!
