vibration problems with Etrex Vista

I had the same problem with my Legend on my dirt bike. After trying numerous
things, eventually just decided the easiest way to cure it was to run it off
12v bike power. Bought the 12v cigarette lighter cable and installed a
lighter outlet on the bike. Problem solved (and also obviously eliminates
using up the batteries, too). Another benefit is you can run the backlight
without concern of using up the batteries so quickly.
