Poor quality power cord adapter - broke within 3 months

I don't usually write bad reviews. But Garmin really got it wrong with the power cord that comes with this unit. The Zumo XT is a very good custom built GPS. The cable connector that attaches to the unit's mounting base is of the worst quality and design I have ever seen. The pins fell out within 3 months so the device will not charge while on the mount. This is unforgivable and will leave someone stuck mid-trip (like me). Additionally, Garmin needs to be aware of the issue as replacement cables are delayed by 5-8 weeks everywhere. So mine shouldn't be the only one. Garmin needs to do the right thing and fix the design, admit it and ship replacement cables to Zumo XT owners. Shame on Garmin for cutting corners when the iPhone is just steps away from ending its auto/motorcycle business. You would think they would be more concerned.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Update available
