Beehive3783 Turbocharged February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 Haha, when rich people fussed about where to spend their money the whole day. Poor peasants like me take the whole day to fussed about what cheap camera to buy. Anyone has tried those cheap cameras selling now from petrol stations? Because they are selling around $100, I worried that if they break down, need to get another one, I might as well pay $200+ for a Garmin or Blackvue. I bought a cheap 720p HD camera from Aliexpress. Less than $100 including shipping. Hangs up once in a while but just need to reseat the battery and it's good to go again. Day recording quite decent. Night recording not so good, maybe because I didn't use the IR LED function. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inlinefour Twincharged February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 I had just got a gdr30 to attach to my 2575. Previously was using a gdr10. When installed it is not working properly, not able to detect the gdr30. In the end, had to go down to the garmin service center and after some trouble shooting, updated the software and been fine since. I always on the recording screen on the 2575 that is why i saw the hourglass icon and notice not recording... on the front screen the camera icon also white means not recording... gdr 10 really gave alot of problem so now dun noe should go for 30 or standalone 35 lor...

Lebonchi 1st Gear February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 My 2575 had shown blank screen a few times...not sure is it due to the gdr10 or the 2575 itself...I just removed the 2575 from the cradle and pressed on the on button for a few seconds. After that it is ok. Now I usually wait for the red icon( recording mode on) to show before I moved off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I dun noe should buy GDR 35 or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF 4th Gear February 6, 2013 Share February 6, 2013 Thru out the 12 mths warranty period... :angry: The 2575 replaced 3 times and GDR 10 change 5 times... That's why I dun noe should buy GDR 35 or not? So bad? Lucky I didn't go for that. I was persuaded by the salesman surprisingly, to go for the 50LM if I just need a simple GPS to get from A to B. I'm so impressed by his honesty that I brought my friend there to get another 50LM too. However, I forgotten to ask his name....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fit44 Clutched February 6, 2013 Share February 6, 2013 Bro lebonchi, your 2575 is R or RLM? GDR30 is compatable with RLM only. I'm using 2575R, that's why I cannot upgrade to GDR30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebonchi 1st Gear February 6, 2013 Share February 6, 2013 Mine is the LM, what is the difference btw them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I dun noe should buy GDR 35 or not? That is bad, I am using gdr30 as I do not need to stick another device onto the power socket as I am on gdr10 already...if I saw your experience earlier, I will have second thoughts about the gdr30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LM is lifetime map not special model just upgrade software then can pair up with GDR 30 liao but i think ditch the gdr 10 then use gdr 35 standalone better hopefully will not be overheated like gdr 10 lor...
