I've been seeing some news reports about lithium batteries  
overheating and causing fires. Anyone have experience with Lithium  
AAs getting hot?

I used Lithium AAs in my Garmin Vista C on my last trip with no

the display choices of Alk. or Nimh, the only thing that setting does is
make your battery life indicator more accurate. It has no effect on  
how the
Garmin uses the batteries or the life of the batteries. I got this  
directly
from Garmin as I was concerned when I started using a GPS.
