Howdy,

Have a question for those of you with the BRP/Garmin GPS Zumo 660. On the power cable, there is an in-line fuse. What is the amp rating of the fuse? My was cut off when it was de-installed from my previous SPYDER and I need to purchase a new one.

Thanks,

David

David- I don't know the exact answer, but experience tells me that if you put a 3 or 5 amp in, it will be MORE than good. Any GPS should draw less than 1 amp at 12vdc. The Garmin site says it draws 10 watts so that would be .833 amps.

Thanks everyone. I purchased a 2 amp in-line fuse holder and fuse today. Now if I can just get the BRP mount. :gaah:
