Garmin 2610 on a 6v Bike ~

[David Nimrod]

Apologies for being a bit dim, but could a Garmin 2610 run on a 6v bike (MZ TS250)..?

If not, what would you do..? (I can't afford the 12v conversion kit, it's well over £200).

I would have thought the only way will be be to make up a 6v to 12v dc converter, possibly somthing like the link below might be the way to go.
Only other advice would be have a look at vw car sites as the early cars were all 6v you may find somthing that you can use.

You don't need a GPS, just head East ;-)

There are some very big signs, denoting BERLIN

just buy a very small 12v battery from Maplin and connect to that. Yes you will have to charge it up via the mains, but plenty of juice in them to last a day between charges

You are both of course completely right!

I'd really come to that conclusion, but the question was still nagging at me...

And in the spirit of 1975 style utilitarianism, it'll be a 'No Sat Nav Zone'
