I am very disappointed with the hardware and the fact that Garmin does not stand behind their product. I was just setting the 310xt up, the same day I bought it, and it fell from my lap into the floor, and the glass cracked from falling less then 2 feet. Could not have been more then 2 feet. The Garmin distributor said this was not covered by the warranty!!!
