WARNING - Garmin Zumo XT hot-shoe connector weakness

[Stu]

You can buy the cover here as well:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Garmin-Zumo- ... SwxUFfjrST €15.00 postal fee to the UK though.

Cheaper to email them I have ordered two for €25 delivered

I tried, but they redirected me to the Ebay link! Ordered now, anyway.

Maybe thats my fault for ordering to the UK and they have now seen a market for it

Could be! Still, with Garmin's new lead, the market may drop off, so I suppose they have to seize the day.

Ordered mine Tuesday lunchtime, arrived on Thursday Though I did pay for that level of service.

I am super frustrated! Left on my 1 year trip 2 weeks ago. Decided that a sturdy GPS from Garmin was the way to go, as I have now destroyed 2 phones using them for navigation.
After just 4 days on the road, the top pin in the charger was shredded.
With some help from a creative mechanic, we managed to press in a small piece of metal in the hole and it is now charging - but seriously Garmin.... this is a major product flaw! Who cares if the GPS is excellent if it's charging capabilities are that fragile!!!

I think I will have to drop them a message and see what the score is

hi. I was considering buying an xt until I saw this post. Is the pins problem still an issue ? Or should I stick with my 360 which also uses pins. Your thoughts on the matter would be welcome.

Buy the XT you won't regret it

No problems here so far

IMHO the XT is streets ahead of the 590, which is what I used to have. The pin problem can be solved either, I imagine, by Garmin's new lead, or by the cover discussed above.

My cover, ordered on Friday, has just arrived. Nice bit of kit!
