 |
|
My Active 10 Plus came with all the power options except the car charger. I note that if you buy the power bundle from Satmap or from E-Bay that there is a car charger.
Question: can I simply buy a universal USB car charger (couple of quid from E-Bay) or do I need some special Satmap widget? |

| Yes you can. As long as it fits your cig lighter socket and has a USB cable (with the small USB end to fit the Satmap) |

| I do feel it's a bit off for Satmap to leave out the car charger from the Plus power pack bundle - its another £10 from them, on top of an already hefty premium. |

Yes I quite agree it should come with the bundle as there will be £5 postage on top of the £10 cost.
£15 is a bit steep for a cigarette lighter plug.

| Strange...mine set came with one, but it was one of the very first issues...perhaps they've had a rethink....worth a quick call I think. |

Many thanks. I'll get one from E-bay I think!

Whilst cleaning the car today I found the Satmap car charger,must have put it there when I got the separate power bundle,so yes it certainly used to come with one.
I think I bought the bundle about nine months ago.
You would think the Plus should come with one.I would check with Satmap.

| If you look in their 'shop', it's still shown as part of the package. |

| The OP is talking about the 'Plus' bundle, which specifically does not have the car charger included, whereas it is included in the separate Power Bundle. |
