Most important info was missing: what is the tape used?

This also works with the Garmin Oregon 300 model. I do not know about the other models in this series, but i assume it would work the same.

hat perfekt funktioniert. Vielen Dank für die Anleitung. War kurz davor das Gerät zu entsorgen, aber der neue Schalter funktioniert sogar jetzt besser als das Original. Hab mir viel Zeit gelassen beim einpassen, aber das hat sich rentiert und es ist ja auch eigentlich ganz einfach, weil man den Gummi ja einfach abrubbeln kann. Dadurch passt er perfekt und den Klebstreifen braucht man dann nur noch zum fixieren.
