i got a nuvi55lm from halfords took it apart including the screen and used silicone on all the joints and other places like the speaker, usb, card slot and button. its a fiddly job but saves a fortune. done the exact same with my last one and it lasted 5 years in all weathers including being left out in the rain for a few days. this one is on its second year and still going strong. if your no good taking things apart and doing fiddly stuff i would not do it.

for it to work you need to wire the charger into something like my gizmo and also have a home charger as the on/off button is a bit hit or miss after doing the dirty.

ok so its not got any fancy blutooth or mp3 player or other useless shizz but i only need to look at the thing to see where i'm going. i use a spaznav like a moving map. i use TYRE to make my routes then upload it to the spaznav.
