Again, GPS advice...

Oh, no fear there! Solder splatter and my jeans are familiar with each
other. I've just decided to declare the device as end of life. If I'd
been completely candid, I'd have also mentioned the fact that the
newest DB I can find for this device is almost 4 years old. I think a
refresh is in order.

So if I get a new one, the old device will probably wind up becoming
useful in some other way and will definitely represent zero loss
should I foul up the battery replacement...but that only becomes
possible if I've another on hand to fly with. Rather than buy myself
back into the Garmin trap with the same built in calendar trap, I
figured it's time to reshop the entire proposal. That seems to be my
basic reaction when I'm not satisfied with the results I got out of
the first foray.

Thanks for the excellent suggestion!

I also realize that you may have some money burning a hole in your
pocket. If you buy a new GPS, then fix the old one, you've got
a second one for the copilot's yoke, or for in the car, or whatever.
Or, if you can fix the Pilot III successfully, you've got some time to
compare new models and maybe wait for a deal.
