Bad equipments

It’s a really bad equipments, why
Because it’s disconnected from your truck with no reason and all data in it’s eld is disappeared and not any more available to review it
This happens with me several times with no reason, I never disconnected it from my Truck and when that’s happened so you need to download garmin elog again and start over as a new user
