Garmin 796 Touchscreen Issues
I have a feeling you already know where I'm going with this question. Seems like lots of 796's screens becoming non-responsive. I currently have 4 796's and 2 of them are giving me trouble. Got to send them back I presume? I'd like to know how to calibrate screen from home if possible. thx
