[Closed] found garmin at ladybower

Is it connected to this ?

Sadly not, as Simon's a friend of mine so it'd be easy to return

Someone mentioned to keeper of the Peak that they'd lost one on potato alley.

This was on the gravel track on the eastern side of the reservoirs...

Sounds like it was a bad week for garmins.

Just a thought, and I'll get this in first, I'm a basic Garmin Edge user ....

But when connected to Garmin connect it gets your device serial number so I imagine Garmin have a record of what email address is registered to that number ?

Wonder if you can backtrack that way or contact Garmin, etc .. ?

Already emailed them to ask if they can do that, but ta for the suggestion!

Someone on this thread on UKC has lost one at ladybower: http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=585008

I was reading the lost garmin thread earlier and I got the indelible marker pen out and wrote my mobile number on the back of ours... it might be worthwhile sometime.

I have programmed mine to display my name and mobile number on start up. It is really easy to do and there was a link posted on here to the website instructions on how to do it,

Is there any information on here about how to stop them falling out of their bracket????

The start up message item is a good idea although we have 500+200 not 510, so we cant use the message idea.

Paule - you have mail !!!

But then again have just seen where you found it and it's unlikely to be mine.

Until this weekend I'd assumed this was highly unlikely ! I'm convinced I must have knocked mine out going through a gate - have frequently hit the stop button doing this, and have got into the habit of checking it's still recording. I'm convinced I spotted it was missing within a 100 yards, but extensive searching around the gate was fruitless.

only had it a few months and nearly lost it around rosedale abbey (came off but managed to find it amongst the heather), to date I've lost count how many times it has come loose and looks like even with an expensive mount it's never going to be secure. THUS I am going to design something to ensure better security. I'm thinking a 3D printed hook glued onto the device and held securely with cord similiar to how tv's etc are secured in an office [img] [/img]

....watch this space
PS - I do like the ability to programme your number will defo be giving that a go

I've started a new thread on my security feature above... so any reply's direct yourself here please http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/garmin-edge-800-and-similar-how-to-stop-it-coming-loose-from-mount
