I have now got my Nuvi 250 and I had a 12v Ciggy power supply in my car routed through my dash that used to belong to my Garmin i3. I plugged my Nuvi 250 into it and it went into a black screen with a picture of a wire comming out of a computor.....now I assume this is charging as it did have an effect on the power status bars (it went up) But unlike the supplied 12v Ciggy power supply it did not display the maps! I also have a spare USB lead from my old i3 which I have used to put some POI and the Garmin speed Camera database,again it went to a black screen as it was doing the upload and would not/could not/display maps. So Question.....

1. If I bought a cheapo 12v Ciggy cable off Ebay which is deemed to be Nuvi "compatable" would it just charge in black screen or display maps aswell as charge at the same time.
