I've wanted to have a close look inside my Nüvi 310 for some time, but I thought I might mark the case, in doing so...

...after I managed to drop the thing and boot it the length of a hotel car park, I decided this no longer mattered!

I took some photos and posted the results HERE

Kicking it at an alligator?

Is the unit dead then or just damaged?

This was the day of the argument, as to who was going to carry the 760 ... so I decided to take the 310 instead. I was holding it upside-down and it slid out of its case, connected with my foot and disappeared into the distance!

The fascia's scraped, but not the screen. I took it apart to investigate the feasability of spraying the case, to cover the scratches.

...amazingly, it still works, after being dismantled and re-assembled!

Excellent photos Phil, hopefully I won't drop my 350, but if I do they will certainly help.
