Thanks, I'll have to try that one myself. Anyway, I usually just take
my chances and waive extended warranties and dont even think about it
if the item is under $1000 anyway. Recently a Circuit City employee
told me to make sure I intentionally "break" my Garmin in a couple
years, so I can get a new one free on the warranty, after my wife
insisted we needed the extended warranty. Will I remember to
intentionally "break" my Garmin next year, probably not, so it was a
waste of money. The salesperson suggested I just break a wire inside
the unit, then make the claim, they'll replace it free with the
updated map package.
