LOL at my friend rtark, my unit is on its way to Eufaula Alabama right now, I spoke with a very nice lady,,she had me go through the same steps you guys did last night. She agreed that it was indeed the GPS and was a internal defect, promised me it would be shipped back to me within 3-5 days of them recieving mine. I wish I could have said the dealer was so forthcoming as I still have not heard from him. I'll remember that when I order a 1198c....Just wanted to say thanks to you guys for the help last evening, it was much appreciated.
