Re: Garmin Zumo XT Went Dead Again

6 amp charger? you said 6amp at 12 voits. isn't that too high an amps? I would feel better using 1.5amps or no higher than 2.1 No, that is not a concern. My vehicle has a 10 amp 12 volt power outlet and I have plugged in devices, like my Garmin, that don't need that much. Now, if you have a device ...

Garmin Zumo XT Went Dead Again

My Garmin Zumo XT went dead again. It had been on a 6 amp 12 volt power supply for a few hours. I turned it off and it would not power up, again. The last time that happened, I left it on the power supply over night and in the morning it did power up again. I am trying that again and hope it comes b...

Re: I am venting about a dead XT, again.

...It seems that the computer was putting out almost about enough power the XT and keep the screen 100% bright, but in fact the XT was taking slightly more power than the computer was providing. So very very slowly, the XT was using small amounts of power from the battery - and not charging it. As ...

I Am Venting About A Dead XT

...The XT was plugged into an AC wall charger overnite (about 10 hours). In the morning it required a longer then normal press for it to start up but it started like a wake-up, not a cold boot... I just wanted to say thank you for posting that. This afternoon I took my Garmin Zumo XT off the charge...

Maps Are Corrupt And Cannot Be Used

When I power up my Garmin Zumo XT, I get the message, "Maps are corrupt and cannot be used. Go to www.garmin.vom/express to download the latest maps. OK"

How do I get rid of that message. The Garmin Zumo XT does seems to work just fine, despite that message.

Re: Xt power draw

...You might want to ask Anker for the max current output from their battery banks. It also would be nice to know the XT USB spec. I am still going back and forth with Anker. This is what Garmin replied with: "Hello James, You will need quite a bit of power. The device needs this type of power...

Garmin Zumo XT Power Draw

I want to power my Garmin Zumo XT using an Anker power bank. Since it draws 1.6 amps, can I use any Anker power bank that has the blue USB 3.0 port?
