Also, did Garmin not ship the 1000 with the same tether strap that it ships the 510 with? The 510 is tethered to my bar, in the event it gets knocked off of the out front mount, it will just dangle off of my bar.
The Garmin doesn't broadcast it's location. It just records GPS coordinates to a local file that must be synced afterwards with a phone or computer in order to see where you've been.
If the OP had Livetrack turned on (and the only reason to do that would be for someone else to watch his progress), the
phone is broadcasting it's location to Garmin's servers - and the Garmin's location would have been lost the moment the Garmin & phone lost connection. There would be no record.
But really, all of this banter about tracking has sort of ignored the elephant in the room - Which is, how the heck did the OP not
immediately notice that his honking-huge Garmin was suddenly missing from right under his nose?
