Did it...sent my Garmin 62s in for a refurb

Last year around this time I just about had it with my lemon of a 62s. Then last month it would turn itself off every time I tried to look at the cache description. Good thing I had my GC phone app with me (and cellular coverage - but it was dicey one bar coverage).  I thought it might be a corrupted file, downloaded new files. Still had the shut-off problem. Was using the latest software update. 

So I started looking at GPS City for a new geocache, and reading the GC forums gps reviews. Every paperless Garmin unit had problems.

I considered buying the least expensive of the Garmin units - one with mapping and a colour screen, the eTrex 20. It was going to cost about $260 with the topo map.

Then I checked Raytech.ca. A 62s refurb would cost me $141. I opted for the refurb. I figure that there's no way I'll get a lemon, since it should be well tested. The chance I'm taking is that it may break down again sometime in the future. My original 62s started off fine but got worse and worse with time. Price wise this seems to be the best chance to take.

I pick up my refurb today at the post office. After testing it out on some geocaching excursions, I'll post the results.
