Re: Anyone using Garmin Mobile XT GPS Software?

Has anyone else noticed massive battery drain after using, and exiting, Garmin? I liked the software a lot, but it seemed to cause really bad battery leakage after using it. I'd have it plugged in when using it, then exit the software and unplug it from the charger when done navigating. Even though I exited the software, I'd still get really bad drain as if the GPS was still active or something. I've been comparing Garmin and MioMap 3.3. I don't have this problem when I use MioMap, only Garmin. I've uninstalled Garmin because of this, but liked the software more than MioMap. Has anyone had the problem, and know of a fix?
