Electronics » Thumbwheel issues

I seem to have a problem that is worsening.
My thumbwheel is randomly changing pages on my Navi to other "selection pages" which is a p.i.t.a when you are navigating. It started as occasionally but now it can be every few secounds🤔
I have cleaned the contacts on the mount but its no better. Just wondering if anyone else has any problem with this or has any ideas about a fix.

I'd be looking at the wonderwheel, and cleaning the contacts within that, by possibly spraying lubricant in there, if indeed that's possible.

I had to have thumbwheel and switch replaced once it became loose, non-serviceable item!
Issue I had was it 'attacked' the satnav menu options and the last item, lowest point in menu, was 'screen display' and it would reduce this from 100% to zero, blank screen.

this is the controller pdf, can't seem to get it to display

I thought it was a thumbwheel failure but the switch appeared to be loose enough to tap/earth against the handlebar I guess which fooled to control module.

Thanks for all your replys. I will have to see if it's covered on the warranty.
No screen protector wessie.

Isn't this a known Nav 6 issue? Is it a Nav 6?

Yes it is a NAV6...
The plot thickens.

Googled the issue and it seems a good clean of the screen can. fix it, but Garmin are also swapping nav6's even when out of warranty.
Not good for such an expensive product to have these issues.

Just out of interest. I generally leave my on the bike during the riding season. What do you guys do?

I generally leavy my Nav V on the bike unless I want to load up some pre prepared route.

Can’t remember exactly but they wouldn’t admit liability for mine ( out of warranty so tough sh**) Exchange it if I paid £140 and replacement unit only has 3 month warranty. Take it or leave it. There is a wealth of documentation on this issue but Garmin UK wouldn’t accept it. I tend to accept most things in life, but with this I was left feeling ripped off

I have it in the top box, but only put it in the cradle when I'm going to use it.

Never leave the GPS in the cradle when parked in an insecure area (evenings and bad areas of town). Normally I'm parked in a garage, so I can leave it on the cradle then.

Mine gets swopped from bike to bike, but NEVER gets left on the bike, even for a lunch/brew stop, etc.

The only time it stays on is in my man cave!!
