  I would imagine that any new issues are due to the soldering, but I can’t say for sure.

  these GPS units are still quite good, as constant tracking on a smartphone consumes quite a bit of power, while these devices can run on few AA batteries for 15-30 hours.

  it’s probably the corrosion, which needs to be neutralized first. Even then it’s possible that the metal in the port had been “eaten”.

  Get it to boot, go into settings and change USB or “interface” mode to Garmin spanner, it won’t autoboot into USB mode but will ask you if you want USB mode when you turn it on.

  On some garmins those batteries are rechargable, though I don’t know when they recharge. Either in USB mode or when you use external power though USB (if it supports it, either by using a garmin car GPS cable or clicking no at the USB screen when you change mode to garmin spanner). The battery is used for clock, perhaps the GPS almanac too but I’m not so sure about the latter.

  Soviet gulags are probably closer to this innovative anon vision than german camps. More work, less purposeful death.
