Zumo User Forums

As i said - my 5 cents to this are, that that after the functional tests in the factory they are NOT shutting down the unit completely! I'm a 'first hour' user of the Zumo XT and in the first one-and-a-half years you didn't hear such a thing (dead batteries) at all - starting from the second year of...

Ah, ok! Did misunderstood that, sorry... That really doesn't sound good - one last try: Normally, if you do a really long (30 sek.) press on the Power button, the unit performs a reset, you can try this while it is connected to a power source! Maybe this could give a 'startup help'... Sadly if that ...

Have you read my post above?

If the battery is really empty, the only way to get it back to life is in the motorcycle mount, connected to a bike or car battery - try it!

For me it sounds like a dead (empty) battery - when you have access to a motorcycle or a car battery, i would test it with the original motorcycle-mount of the Zumo XT! Often this works! If it boots up, go into settings/navigation and disable gps (this activates gps simulation and saves battery!) - ...

Molsal Hmmm - why have you changed the region of the City Navigator NTU maps? Normally, all of Europe is installed automatically and the Zumo XT has plenty of memory for it, so no need of cutting down the maps - maybe there was an error while doing this and this is the reason why the speed limits a...

Officially the Garmin Explore app never(!) was compatible with the Zumo XT! The Zumo XT has build in a small/rough version of Garmin Explore into it's firmware and communication was done only by the Garmin Drive app and also communication was only done with the Garmin Explore cloud - there was never...

@jfheath - be careful with the term 'turned off', this could be misleading for new users! When you want to charge the unit from a wall charger, it should be in standby - not turned off!

help me to understand the difference. my AC charger adapter outputs DC 5 volts at 2.1 amps the bike battery outputs DC 5 volts at lower amps to my understanding, the DC 5 volt output is the same, only the amps are different. so why would the XT battery charge up at the lower 0.5 amps but not charge...

I am assuming that doing either bike cradle charging -or- AC wall charging are both valid options?. Thanks for comments. The very important thing with AC charging is - did the Zumo XT start by himself, when connected to the wall charger! Yes - let it start up completely, then shortly(!) press the p...

so buying a car mount and plugging miniUSB into XT and cigarette converter into 12v battery would be same as XT on bike cradle charge? looks like it would be the same thing for XT battery charging Not really - it seems, that the Zumo XT, is doing something a little different, when it's loading from...
