Which Garmin?
Are you displaying the map at the time?
Using a route?
Does the Garmin do Strava segments? Are you looking at the live segments?
Is the Garmin connected to your phone via bluetooth at the time?
I've done ~500 laps of RP over the years and never had a Garmin crash inside the park but then my Edge 705 doesn't do any of that fancy stuff.
The reason Garmin's crash at specific locations is because of bugs in the routing algorithms, map display algorithms (possibly triggered by bogus map data but their code should handle this without crashing), Strava segment stuff, etc.
