Nuvi 255wt, will it cope with 24v?

[Juddian]

Hi, first post so be gentle.


After years of saying i'd never have one i've finally gorn and got meself a 255wt.

Some trucks i have to drive are 24v only and there's no guarantee that those supposed to have a 12v outlet haven't been bodged and are now running 24v through a supposed 12v outlet.

So my question, no doubt the first of many is....will the traffic power supply cable that came with the device cope with constant 24v?

I tried a search on this Garmin forum but nothing recent and nowt about the 255.

Thanks in advance.

Ah, many thanks for that Banger, now all i've got to do is get the traffic receiver to work and i'll be a happy bunny.

Thought i'd wind this up for anyone interested, the 255 was great but i couldn't get the traffic to work, kept telling me to get it registered with Garmin the traffic provider being Michelin.

I bet some of you are already there, i'd bought the unit from Pixmania who sent me a traffic receiver for France...weren't able to supply the correct one so it's going back and i'm getting a refund...hopefully, we'll see .

So i'm now the proud owner of a 1490t instead and i'll find out tomorrow if the traffic works.
