Need to Recharge your Garmin

[TNOSE_E]

Ok, So I needed a way of charging my garmin/mobile during stage races. Gave the following a try and works realy well. For just on R120 including shipping you can't go wrong and was worth a try. And hey it doubles as a tourch.

Which Garmin? Can you actually use your Garmin while it's charging or does it make it go into computer mode (the Edge 705 does this with some USB chargers)?

705. No can't currently use while charging but I have heard that some usb data cables alow for charging while in use. Something to do with the wiring. I am getting a HTC data cable to try with the charger and will let you know.

I bought the Zartek Mobile Powerpack ZA-350 and it charge my Edge 305 while it is in use...but had a problem with it whilst doing the TB, i think the charger is faulty, it worked when tested at home

I have used the unit twice for charging and seems to work well. Not expecting the world from it at R100
