That is a good price as it includes P&P

Its £4.99 plus £2.90 P&P from Garmin.

If the bike mount connectors get wet when you fit the sat in the rain, will it damage it? Just a bit worried as going to Scotland and it might rain?

Any problems with it shorting out when wet?

No.

I have never used the cover from day one. The mount (and the 660) have got plenty wet, too.

Hi thanx, it really is a good piece of equipment.

If powered and wet there is the possibility of electrolytic corrosion in the longer term, especially if power remains 24/7 (i.e. with the ignition off).

ISTR that permanently mounted, and powered, Garmin Quest cradles suffered from this.

And 26xx / 28xx and the little sprung bit of metal became springy no more
