Any place in Miami or Broward that repairs Garmin GPS

I have a handheld Garmin 78 SC that is giving me troubles; it turns off by itself and sometimes doesn't load the satellites.

Is there any place where I can take it for revision/repair?

It is not under warranty anymore.

Thanks!

Have you updated the unit recently? I have the same handheld and had a similar problem after water getting in and then not updating the unit. Also I couldn't load satellite signal while testing indoors but it worked outdoors.

Unit comes with a USB cord you plug into computer. Then download updates using GARMIN Express:
