Not long, but the possibility I wanted to rule out was that the wrong one could blow up the device. |

I've done some research, and they're either interchangeable, work slowly or don't work at all, depending on the output current compared to the current the device expects. Most devices need 0.5A, but A ... |

Ok, thanks. My three chargers have the details in raised plastic, which I hate. So far as I can see, they all output 5V. I'll try one tomorrow! |

And any thoughts on the use of a wall charger intended for a TT, iPad or mobile phone? |

I had a reply from TT; I had to reply agreeing to five points, such as understanding that my account couldn't be re-opened - for security reasons. When I replied I asked about HOME, and I've just rece ... |

Thanks for the reply.
1. Pity - but it's useful for the charge/discharge battery cycle.
2. I was going to come to wall charging, since it seems very slow at charging from the USB socket. I have ... |

It's possible, though it was the message in the position where the countdown should have been which was part of my original question. I'll just have to wait until the next update to see what happens. |

It's just UK and ROI this time - I haven't driven in Europe since I gave up smoking six years ago .
And, just on general principles, I don't like mucking around with anything on the device. So ... |

I haven't had the unit in the car yet, but I've been running routes in simulator mode, and I've ended up with a few questions about very minor problems.
These are in no sense complaints, and there ... |

Like it says - you can walk away and leave it to do its thing.

Do you mean prune them from the device? Is there any point, since only 500MB out of 3.5GB is occupied?
EDIT : On reflection, it does make sense to prune the backup, both to save time in running MSE ... |

Both of those are possible causes of slow downloads - I hadn't taken account of it being Saturday morning when I started. |

Thanks, I hadn't realised that there were protected files as well as hidden ones.
Unticking that, Explorer revealed another folder - System, full of .IMG files, and consisting of 71 files, 42 fold ... |

So would I normally, but at the time I wasn't sure whether my map update was ever going to finish. I wasn't even sure it had actually started!
Anyway, I'd still like to do a backup. However, when I ... |

Actually, I expected only the last three lines to be quoted. By the time I realised that it was all there, it was too late to rectify (I was on an iPad, and I just can't use the highlighter).
