Hi

For some reason Garmin sat Nav wont work - I know it ran out of charge when using it as we for some reason left car charger at home

But now trying to charge and nothing happening- Any one know if there is anywhere local to Quesada who could look at ?

Thanks

Firstly I always put a question in Google stating what is the problem and for which device, it’s amazing what will come back and you may get a fix for the problem which will cost you nothing. It’s also possible you want but no harm in trying.

Try a different charger first.

If you've got a smartphone, why not try the free app "Waze". I've thrown my Tomtom away now, because Waze is far better. Too many features to list here, but trust me, it's good.

I imagine Waze needs an internet connection (unlike Tom Tom) which uses up the data on your phone ? ?

Well, I've not noticed any data being used, so if it does it's only a very small amount. I think it just uses the data within the app, plus a GPS fix.

I have a new tom Tom and if I unplug it in the car it turns off. So I’m assuming it needs to be plugged in to work, ie not charged but powered. Correction duh, it goes to sleep, doesn’t turn off :text-lol:
