I decided to post this poll up after reading a post from SoSa about the demographics of the iQue...if you want, post a more detailed location or a new poll for USA/Europe detailed.

PS i dont even know if garmin sells in some of those areas, but i just took the zones from a google image.

I have a theory as to the results as of this moment, the majority of the RMAs are in the East Coast. Therefore, I believe that the need to RMA is definitely relational to the distance from home base manufacturing (ie Taiwan). :D :D

As with many of my sig's - they are not original and with one so not PC, I will devulge it's author, posthumously at the appropriate time that it evokes more questions. Or can you guess!:D

Way to go CC - jes it was Will Rogers credit will now be issued. :D

For a moment - I was googling on Cowbot and couldn't find anything except some obscure Asian cartoon caricatures.....

“Cowbot” from an obscure language of the Anamie people that means Moose like animal.


OK, OK actually it is the result of late night typing in the dark. Let me know where I can pick up my prize. How about a new Mercedes in silver to match my iQue?:D

I'd take a BMW 740iL over the Merecedes any day. I haven't checked, if I won the California lottery on Wednesday night...you got a deal otherwise you'll have to settle for a free post. :D

Not to be nitpicky but the new 7's have the Li suffix...honestly id rather have the older one, which is an iL, but just thought i should mention....nice choice with the Bimmer over the Mercedes though :p

Hence the reason I mentioned the "iL". I'd take a 2 or 3 year old Bimmer over a dressed up Chrysler anyday. :D

This poll leaves out Alaska and Hawaii timezone. I am therefore unable to proxy vote for 2 guys in my office.

You have to know how many units were sold in each area for the RMA statistics to be meaningful.

Maybe more units were RMA'd on the east coast because there were more sold there. Or maybe this message board just happens to be more popular with people on the east coast than elsewhere. Many factors could skew the stats . . .

:D

Captain, I think you're right. I find this poll interesting but hardly statistically accurate.

You mean to tell me that someone starts a poll and the results are not statistically correct? What your saying in essence is: that this forum doesn't represent a statiscally accurate sampling of the number of Que user's and there various locations?

If that's the case, then life has no meaning. Does any one have a spare topo map they can lend me, I promise to give it back, so I can go find myself a cliff to jump off. :D

Lol, although we could start a poll finding out where everyone is from, so that we can divide the rma by the total to get the % rmad for area. It would provide a more accurate solution.
