I was wondering. I read on the info package that came with my Garmin. That I need to keep a set of battery within the unit to save Custom Waypoints. But my question, How long do I have between battery changes to change out the battery before all the memory is depleted.
I don't think that was mentioned in the User Guide.

PS: i leave my Garmin i3GPS in the car hook in the cigar lighter always it keep charge that way all the time...
FYI The i3 does NOT charge
FYI The i3 does NOT charge batteries. I have had my i3 since Oct. 06 and still have the 2 alkalines that I installed back then. The i3 uses the batteries only when turned on and not plugged into a cigarette lighter or usb cable.
