 |
|
hi
I have an in car charger for my phone which is USB sockets. Obviously i cant have car charger and SAtnav Nuvi 250 plugged in at same time but there is an additional USB port on car phone charger. I have connected the sat nav to this but it reacts as though its connected to a PC and i cannot use the satnav. Is it possible to use USB as power supply to satnav?
Thanks
Adrian |

hi
There is no option to plug into the cradle. the power supply goes direct in to the unit itself. |

ah, ok, the original (older) nuvi's used a usb lead plugged into the mount - i had (wrongly) assumed that was still the case!
the best bet then would be to get a 12v car power splitter thingy from halford or maplin or ebay or dozens of other places for a few quid!
