Did you forget to charge it?
I have never run my 705 down, even on rides that last from dawn to past sunset.
I kind of forgot and kind of didn't. It's a ridiculous story but I realized last night that it was low on batteries but had just gone out the front door a few minutes earlier to grab my video camera from my car to charge. The front door wasn't the quietest thing in the world and I didn't want to keep waking people up in the house so I elected to wait until morning to grab it while I was wrenching on my bike. I hooked it up to my computer to charge it and it was on there for about an hour. I figured that would be enough (otherwise I'd have taken my laptop with me and charged the gps in the car on the way). So, basically I didn't charge it enough because I didn't want to wake people up with a loud front door.
As an aside for anybody in the know. The gps does have an 80KB NVM file with today's date on it but I have no idea what that is. Is that today's ride info in the wrong format maybe? If so, think it's recoverable? HELP!!!!
