I think the point here is that you are reading reports about a number of
faulty Garmin units. It certainly doesn't happen with *all* units or we would
definitely know about it. The 'fix' you are looking for in these cases is
obvious - return the unit to the supplier, or to Garmin. The question of how
often it happens is difficult to ascertain. The number of reviews you see is
not a reliable guide since people who get a faulty unit are far more likely
to write about it than those who have no problems.

I don't know where you are based but I have found Garmin support in the UK to
be very good. I recently had a problem with a handheld unit I bought
recently, when connected to an Apple Mac. Garmin support correctly identified
the cause of the problem and pointed me to a solution which, I'm glad to say,
has solved the problem completely

We're not the ones posting to Amazon reviews about problems. And I've
got no particular inclination or desire to comment about it, since I
don't have one and my 785 doesn't do that. (Reboots occasionally when I
ask it to do something odd and some invisible gremlins are in it, but it
always comes back to doing what I asked. But that's no worse than how
often many other things end up crashing and a reboot is a perfectly
reasonable way to deal with a cranky process with an embedded
OS/device.)

newer model sooner than expect....
