kamie,
How long did the battery last? I have had a Garmin 541 since 2007 and it still holds memory. Just wondering when and if I may have to replace an internal battery.
My new one lasted a season but the unit had other issues which I think drained the battery. Ultimately the unit died and I got a new 541 in 2007 which is also still going strong.
I had a similar experience. Opened it up and got a new battery and bought a spare cheap off eBay for parts. The price on Elite 5 really came down, so I upgraded this season to get color and better WAAS accuracy.
