If I use my SPV C500 charger (either main or car), it turns GPS off on plug-on. But if I use the charger that came with 236, it works OK. Sad I have to take two car chargers (though they look similar: ... |

Does the GPSlim236 use a standard USB charging cable?
I'm guessing not, because a 3rd party rj11 to miniUSB lead doesn't work, nor does my phone charger, both seem to hard reset the device.
