You will get a fair amount of energy loss using a cigar lighter adaptor. For instance, that used by Socket for the BT GPS uses a LM2576-5 Voltage Regulator (designed to give 5V at 3A) which has an ef ... |

I've noticed that TTFF is slower with TTN2 and my Socket BT. Doing exactly the same thing, just sitting in my driveway next to the road, it's taking a hell of a lot longer. I notice on GPS ... |

Switching to Strict computation will increase the number of permutations the software considers and you MAY get the same route there and back.
