I had the same happen to me yesterday and noticed that the charge icon wasn’t showing. This morning I took a look at the mount and it seemed that one of the spring-loaded contact pins was stuck in. A bit of jiggling and a touch of WD40 appears to have freed it and the XT is working as it should (for...

No, REHTony, never be tempted to do an update if you’re about to head off on a long road-trip. Don’t ask me how I know

I had a problem with Drive not connecting if the XT was already switched on. It connects instantly if I switch on the XT when Drive is already running on my phone. Probably no use to you, but I thought I’d throw it in!

It was delivered earlier today and I’ve spent a few hours getting to know it and I am feeling that it is light-years ahead of the 660 and 595 that I’ve used for years. Have Garmin at last come up with a device that, without actually road testing it, I am at a loss to pick holes in. So, straight out ...
