When calling on a mobile it said this number will charge outside you plan, I realised later it does that for free phone numbers as well as expensive numbers. I must remember to call again(they were busy), next time from the land line.

There’s a freephone number on their website, I’m sure I used that. See http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/uk/uk/support/supportcontacts

Did you use the charged phone number (that is giving me a long wait), or is there another number for them?

I did Ben’s tactic of letting it sit on the bracket without the clip, I’m glad the eTrex’s are nice and rugged to survive a lot. I also need to re-glue the rubber side on, which I understand is another common problem.

Thanks for this post – I have lost my little clip and was in exactly the same position. Have contacted Garmin and hope they will do the same for me!

Ah nice. Good to find out the part number. I called Garmin the other day about this but they couldn’t work out which part I was talking about.

Even though my clip broke off a few weeks ago, since I have a new bike I decided it would be OK to take my eTrex cx along for the ride. I tied the lanyard around the handlbars, and it is a reasonably stiff fit into the bracket so I thought I’d be OK. Luckily my eTrex was strong enough to survive the road impact…

Yes, but I’d still like you to publish the source to the decision, not just the binary outcome…

If I said that Ed was fine anyway and Steve King was over, would that help narrow it down?

You’ve never published the standard, so I’m not sure how I can know the right amount of time ;o)

And me.

I’m glad 4 months isn’t too long. I try not to inflict my ramblings on the world too often.

I think you’ve mistaken how long between posts I allow. It’s pretty generous. And of course you posting here spurred at least Ed into posting again.

I’ve got rid of all the dead sites though, I don’t think there’s much point in keeping them around.
