The dude I was speaking to last night raced RAAM and rides 1000s of kms. He said his etrex30 still gives him issues.
In honesty I think they're all as bad. And just someone's give you trouble. But yes, it might be worth having a backup. Though at worst I can buy a new one on route if shot happens.
Having said that, my 1000 gives me trouble. But in 3500 miles or 1500 so far this trip, it worked. It's stopped doing turn by turn and done the screen lock when it's wet. But it's not failed or crashed.
Yes. I've got to rig something up to cover the port. I was going to put some duck tape between the awrobars. But you make a very good point. Road spray off the front wheel would destroy it very quick. An etrex would be good from that point as its battery and not port.
