tnt05venture Posted December 23, 2010 #1 Posted December 23, 2010 I am having a problem with my Zumo 550. My GPS works fine by itself but when I plug in my GXM 30 antenna it shuts of the unit within 3 sec. I have a friend near by who has a Zumo 550 also and when I place his in the cradle it works fine, music, traffic, and weather. I have updated the software on my GPS and been on the phone with Garmin. Now they are on "Vacation" and I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. It acts the same way on the car cradle and the motorcycle cradle. Any suggestion???

tnt05venture Posted December 23, 2010 Author #3 Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks for the advice! I had to set up an account with the Zumo Forum, identified the problem, and now I'm up and running again. There is a problem with "corrupted" weather files from XM. The Zumo Forum Guys are great!
rumboogy Posted December 23, 2010 #4 Posted December 23, 2010 LOL...I guess I am "one of those geeks" since it is my forum over there. LOL Actually, there are some pretty sharp members over there...basically I'm like everybody else...that is where I go for my answers...my own forum.
Leland Posted December 23, 2010 #5 Posted December 23, 2010 I have the exact same problem with mine. I too contacted Garmin and they said to update the Zumo. I never did it, because I knew that couldn't be it. Will head over to Zumo Forums. Thanks for posting.
Leland Posted December 23, 2010 #6 Posted December 23, 2010 The information on the Zumo Forum is right on the money. Fixed mine.
