Good information Punkpup. When we dropped our GPS and the screen went black, we were out of luck. The unit was two months old. So I think I will go with Best Buy and their extended warranty since I tend to have dropsies.

Thanks to Hawkwind and Bobkat for providing sites which I'm sure will help with my "gps education".
