Hmm, doing a search on Google shows their address as:-
Block D Flat 15 Farringdon Lane, London
Phone: 07768 975050
Fax: 07768 979092
This sounds like a single person rather than a company selling goods. You might still be able to contact them at the above address. I retrieved this info from http://www.commerce.com.tw/company_inside.php?ID=C0014809
If you believe it is the official GPS that PowerLOC ship with Destinator, you could send an email to support@destinator1.com (they usually use Leadtek GPS Receivers). Failing that if it is another manufacturer, if the product hasn't officially been out for more than a year, you might be able to get the actual manufacturer to replace it. |

It is believed this company, has gone bust/disasappeared, , and I know of others, have not even received the destinator package, Ebay and Paypal are investigating and trying to stop payments. |

No, they are the same connector. Basically the 22xx, 38xx, 39xx, 4xxx and 5xxx all share the same connectors. |

Usually there's a name on the underside, PowerLOC always used to bundle Leadtek 9531/9532's, so I suspect it's something like this. If you've got a camera, take a photo and mail it to us and we might be able to tell you which it is. |
