    Nah, I think it was the Beast from the East helper ride, my first 600. I got half way, went to load the next file in the series and it wasn't there. I had a backup 810 unit (you can read all about that piece of shit in the Garmin thread) which thankfully had all the files.

    I did some tests and found it would randomly lose files if you copied a set to it. I'd have to copy the files, unplug it, check which ones were on it, plug it back in and copy the ones it had missed, then recheck the files.

    You going for LEJOG this year?

    I'd recommend a 1000 if you're going to use Garmins.

    I have an 800 and this is probably the only annoying thing about it, happens every time.

    I'd recommend a 705 and not using turn-by-turn!
    Garmins didn't get any better at navigating in the last decade, just more complicated, buggy and shorter battery life.
