Nav 5 suddenly stops working

Smogbob, Do you use a usb cable from your computer to charge or a usb cable from a power adapter plugged into the wall? If it’s the latter what wall plug power adapter are you using?
Thx

Any mains to usb adaptor will do. I have plugged GPS devices into all sorts of them, here and abroad; none has ever fried. Sometimes the device sees the supply as a computer; that doesn’t matter, it still charges.

After the Winter I had to plug mine into the wall for 26 hours before it came back to life!!

I tried that Wapping with an iPad charger 1Ah and a Samsung phone J5 2Ah charger. Both show the charging symbol on the Nav screen but when I unplug the Nav, very little charge in it?

I have just plugged the Nav into the computer and charged via USB and all is fine, so still none the wiser about power adapter.
