Garmin Geko 301
Hi,
I own a Garmin Geko 301, it is a brilliant hand held GPS, sadly, it will no longer 'boot-up'. Pressing the on button the screen will momentarily activate but then switch off. I have checked the batteries but the same happens. Hopefully there is an answer / solution to the problem.
Many thanks,
Andy
