How do I know it's charging?

[alexlowe]

Hi, I've obtained the CANbus cable from my local deaer and connected it to he TomTom power cable as per the threads on this forum. My question is, how do I know whether it's charging or not? I have charged it via the mains initially and I've looked in the manual but it says absolutely nothing about this. Does anybody know? Thanks.

With the Tom Tom turned on if you touch the screen in the bottom right hand side as you are looking at it (where the bars showing number of satellites are) it will show some more detail including a picture of a battery that should say "charging" underneath it.

Simon. Thanks, you've solved it. I had fitted the TomTom to the bike after it was fully charged from the mains so it showed 'battery full'. I let the unit drain down totally today and put it on the bike again and it nows shows 'charging' with the ignition 'on'. Thanks again.
