    Cheap GPS device @ Canadian Tire, may be great for warm weather rides.

    Re: WTB. I broke mine. :( Good news for me! I was able to replace the touchscreen on my GPD359 using the touchscreen element from my TomTom One. They were exactly the same dimensions. The wiring was a smidge different but I was able to switch a couple of the wires and get it to work. Yay me...

    Re: WTB. I broke mine. :( Thanks, I'll look at those. The REAL pain of it is that my TomTom one also just up and died on me this week too.

    WTB. I broke mine. :( So I was out for a ride and had gone into a shop. On the way out of the shop I fumbled the GPS when taking it out of my pocket and dropped it cracking the screen. It no longers works. Anyone have an extra they're willing to sell? I really liked the modability of this...
