Witch model?
I have a global map 100 and it has never hiccupped.
This may help in my decision-making when I feel I need to upgrade.
Of all I have heard, read and compared you can't go wrong with a Garman.

A buddy of has the Garmin 180 (or 160, I can't remember) and it works great, but it's the dash mount not a handheld. I had an Eagle Explorer but it completely died, replaced it with the Globnav12, now I"m losing horizontal pixels, line by line, one at a time. Makes it kind of hard to read. Getting tired of reloading all my waypoints.

Quak-

Have both Garmin and Lowarnce never had a problem with either...sounds like you might just be having a bad run of luck?!

had only one problem with the lorance hand held. the internal battery went dead and lost all my way point and tracks!! They said send it back with i think 40.00 and they sent me a brand new one with a case that you put on your belt. I have been pretty please with them kind.
