In the e-mail I sent them, describing my problem I opened by telling them
how great their products are and how pleased I had been with their customer
service the last time I sent my gps in to them.
Gotta put lot's of sugar on it!!! :-)

What didn't I do that everyone seems to have done right. I sent off an email to Garmin explaining my problems and hoping that they would offer to repair it for free even though it is out of warranty. Instead, I got a polite email back saying:
Thank you for contacting Garmin International. That can absolutely be repaired, sir. How long have you had the GPS? If it's been less than one year, that would be fixed at no cost to you. If it's been more than one year than it is out warranty, and the normal flat rate of $99 would apply.
