Over time and with constant use the rubber seal around my eTrex gps has become baggy and loose, I tried glue and double sided sellotape but its not very effective. I have tried looking on the Garmin site to no avail - anyone any ideas please?

Thank you

This is a well known problem with the Etrex range of GPS's.
I had the same problem with my Legend and Vista, I contacted Garmin, who know this is a problem and they replaced the Vista (3yrs old) with a recon unit FOC & the Legend (18mths old) with a new boxed unit.
Give them a ring and explain and see what they say.

Using yellow tape gives a nostalgic touch to these new fangled etrexes too.
