ST or XT

[tjc]

Bought the GPS to use on a motorbike and off on a three week trip soon. As I don't want to faff about charging the unit each night I intend to put it under the seat connected to an external aerial.

Can I leave it connected to the power 24/7, if so will it damage the unit? It will be off when the engine is not running at night of course.

Also can I leave it in XT mode to get a better signal strength?

No problem to keep the unit powered on at all times.

XT is good for slow motion. Unless you are riding a chopper you may want to switch into ST mode. It's more accurate at higher speeds. You'll use an external antenna anyhow.
