Garmin Recalling 1,250,000 Units Over Fire Hazard

[Guest]

I was traveling about 3 miles from home on a 250 mile trip, the unit (NUVI 760) locked up and we didn't notice it for a few (maybe 5) miles. When we finally saw the lock up and shut it off, we could smell the unit. It was overheating. We had the same problem two other times but it was just after I had done a map upgrade so I thought it was software related. turning it off and on a few times seemed to remove the problem. Now I know what the problem was. I have the unit boxed and ready to go out on Tuesday.
