So does it kill your battery. Do you see that much difference in battery drain?

Re: *****Just installed Garmin XT to my pro....one quick question for people******
well, it keeps your data connection open, so i normally only use it while in my car. if i'm walking around nyc or something and looking for something, i normally use tt7 because it doesn't use data. i also find garmin annoying if i'm on a phonecall, because it keeps popping up that annoying bubble telling me there's no data connection.

My TP using GarminXT doesn't use data unless I want it to DL traffic....

this. also you can turn all data off in the settings or when first installing it. no idea on battery. i only use it in the truck and have it plugged in. still pissed because my P51 doesnt show up as big as it did on my titan.

I have a lighter adapter/charger in my car so I always hook it up when I use my phone as GPS.
I'd imagine Garmin XT would run the batteries a bit harder than using normal programs, especially since it's rendering 3D maps and amplifying/processing GPS data at the same time the screen is on. The TP has horrific battery life anyway, I don't trust my phone to last more than a couple hours away from a charger, which is sad, but true. I have a charger at work to make sure it doesn't die on me. |
