The solution is listed on the garmin site but it is not clear
The problem is with the infra red remote reciever on the unit
Sometimes the sun acts like the remote is being pressed and that is when it shakes
the solution, and I hope you still have the unit cause there is nothing outthere like it.
Answer: from garmin site
Normally this issue is caused by sunlight from certain angles hitting the Infrared (IR) port on the unit. This makes the unit react as if the
remote control was communicating with it. This makes it switch in between screens just like if you were using the
remote.
You can disable the
remote IR port on your StreetPilot® 26xx unit by:
- Powering your unit ON
- Press the Menu button
- Touch Options
- Touch the General tab
- Press the Menu button
- Touch Disable remote
If you wish to use the
remote again you can enable the
remote IR port on your StreetPilot 26xx unit by:
- Powering your unit ON
- Press the Menu button
- Touch Options
- Touch the General tab
- Press the Menu button
- Touch Enable remote
