TNOSE_E Posted August 19, 2010 Share 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. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.42139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted August 19, 2010 Share 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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNOSE_E Posted August 19, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
