So it sounds like most of you are using Garmin GPS. We have a new to us 2016 RTL. The previous owner kept the original gps, he did leave the mount on the Spyder. I thought I'd just get a new Garmin XT to replace the original. It looks like the new XT won't work, I was watching a U Tube video on it doesn't use the same mount. Anybody know anything about this or if it won't work what should I use?
Thanks,
Dwight

Can't answer your question without knowing what model the mount is for (or a picture of the mount).

Re: XT, If you buy one, make sure the battery stays charged. A friend and I just returned brand new XTs. Came dead and after 24 hr charge and no use for 2 days after, dead again. I stayed with 595.

I think your Spyder came with a 660 Garmin Zumo. There are plenty used and refurbished out there so you should be able to find one in the 200-300 dollar range.

The battery in the Zumo 590 I purchased in 2015 for my Spyder lasted about 3/4 of a year and then wouldn't charge more than about 75%. Garmin replaced the battery under warranty.

The only Zumo cradles I know of that are compatible with each other are the 590/595. IMO, one should remember that Garmin, like a number of other manufacturers, designs their Zumo GPSs from the ground up for at least one and probably a number of reasons that involve more than just the cradle and, therefore, if a later model GPS doesn't fit a previous design cradle one just has to pull on the big boy britches and deal with it.

I just bought a Zumo XT from Bestbuy yesterday. I charged it and installed all the updates. I will let it rest for a few days and check later to make sure that the battery stayed charged.

Thanks for the tip.
