Managed to get it working by changing the car charger. Luckily I ... |

Great to see we will soon have access to more satellites but which GPS enabled devices will they work with, I.e. Will it work with my iPhone 5c? I don't expect my TT920 to be compatible. |

Thanks Jolly4Roger..
I see that Garmin has 2 types walking maps: Discoverer and Topo. I suspect from the pricing that the Discoverer is a more detailed map. Is it worth the extra money? |
