Garmin Touring: Repair or replace?

My wife likes her Garmin Touring a lot. She doesn't need power or heart rate, just GPS mapping for touring and a way to log mikes.

Lately the power connection has become fiddley. Bumping the cable at all disconnects it. And the battery is showing its age.

Should we get it fixed? If so, Garmin or a third party? Suggestions?
Or should we get a new device, and if that, what's the most like the Touring (Do they still make it?) What's a reasonable replacement? Price matters, so a top of the line GPS is not in our future.
