I am still using my old Garmin 2610 for my bike. After thinking about upgrading, I really don't see any reason to buy a new one - unless I have to.
However. the power cord is beginning to show its age. The shielding has pulled away from the actual plug and I can now see the small 20 ga wires. It's just a matter of time when the small wires will make break. New cords are like 28 bucks apiece and I need two of 'em, (For Powerlet and regular cigar lighter receptacles). Plus, there's no guarantee I won't have the same problem in a while.
Does anyone know of any kind of goop - hot or cold - I can pour on the exposed wires which will bond to the original shielding and also with the plug? (Electrical tape just doesn't stabilize the exposed wires.) This problem exists at both ends of the power cord.
