Re: Zumo XT SD card use

The file structure on the SD card is very important you must have a folder called Garmin (case sensitive) and within that folder another folder called GPX (again case sensitive) you then drop your route files into the GPX folder.

Re: Xt power draw

Very good, thank you. I am just about to wire in a waterproof connector so while I'm in there I might conduct a test of my own to confirm.

Re: Xt power draw

I know the power consumption is not listed, I checked the user manual and the interweb myself, I just wondered if anyone had actually measured it for themselves, I might if I get a chance and if I do I will post the results.

Re: Xt power draw

I think 10 amp is a bit ott ;) :D I have a 5 amp at the moment, I would be very surprised and slightly worried if it blew the 5 amp fuse.
