Flaky Garmin 810?
I've owned several Garmin GPS computers and my current one is a Edge 810 which over the last year has been great. Recently on clear or only minimally cloudy days with at least a 55-75% battery and it just shut off!..I would turn it back on and the acquisition of the satellites was erratic...and of course, had lost the data that had been recorded...
I've read that some have attributed this to the battery....Any ideas? |

Delete all the recorded rides already in the memory Do a soft reset. If not, do a hard reset. If not, call Garmin....

What he said. I will add that the 810 is Garmin's best product, period.

Garmin is pretty good on their warranty (but not as good as Nashbar ). |

I have same model. Had 1000 and few 500 series. Like 810 the best but what OP describes happens every so often. Just figure Garmins work 98% of the time as designed... Plan on malfunctions the other 2%.
