Nuvi 200w rebooting....

 

When I turn on the 200w it loads map and runs. If I plug in a 12v source, or interrrupt the power while it is on, it reverts back to the startup screen, shows the computer connection icon, and the green bar rolls across slowly which I assume it is rebooting. It does this anytime the 12v supply is interrupted. Is this normal. I don't seem to remember it happening before.
It doesn't go thru the rebooting process if I just turn it on with battery power.

New Power Cord?

Are you using a Garmin 12v adapter & power cord?

My 200W is very particular as to the power cord. I think (but never personally verified) there is some sort of resistor in Garmin cables that tells these older nuvi's when to go into usb mode vs. just using the cable for power.

It's about the Line- If a line can be drawn between the powers granted and the rights retained, it would seem to be the same thing, whether the latter be secured by declaring that they shall not be abridged, or that the former shall not be extended.

Power cord problem

Tried a number of cords and found that some work correctly and other don't. Thanks for the info.

They may look the same but they are not.
