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 ...

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 o ...
