The mystery ride was the first ride with my Zumo550...
The cradle seems VERY doggy though :-) Halfway to Arniston it stopped charging the GPS grrr!! Hence fuel data goes skew and the GPS have to run on its own battery.
When I got to Arniston I took the panels on my 650 off to inspect the wiring... all seemed fine and the fuse was okay... Then suddenly it started working again...
On my way back it died on me AGAIN! By this time my GPS also died because the battery was flat..
At home at sprayed some WD40 on the cradle contacts and now it seems to work again... When will it fail again? :-)
These intermittent problems are very frustrating and gives me very little confidence in the Zumo cradle... Do you experience issues with the Zumo cradle or the GPS?
Another question:
Is it okay to leave the GPS in the cradle while the GPS is switched off? I'm aware that the GPS `shouldn't` use power when switched off however
I’ve seen my GPS switch on by itself while ALREADY in the cradle this morning (a certain battery drain) - THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN!
I suspect I will have to get a replacement cradle...
