Hi

I have just borrowed my sisters tomtom go 300 for the weekend for a trip away. She has given me the car charger, however my car cigarette lighter doesn;t work. I also have the usb cable that she has put in the box. If it is connected to my laptop will charge? Or is there any other way I can charge it?

Thanks
Chris

The device will not charge via USB.

You should get quite a bit of charge time from the device. If you intend to use lots, then does she have the official mains charger for the device?

She says she never got on when she bought the item. I was hoping to use it a fair bit this weekend to be honest. I'm gonna see if I can get a hold of one tomorrow before I head away.

Just be sure it's an official TomTom charger. I know people who have fried theirs with incorrect chargers
