But, you realize using a product in a way that it wasn't designed for, will void your warranty right? Quite a few people lately are breaking their GO's by using them incorrectly and not reading directions! I for one, wouldn't be giving out advice that will add to the numbers of people having problems or suggesting ways to void these warraties.
