GPS Navigation

Jun 21, 2008 12:26AM PDT

Hello,

Starting to look at GPS navigation devices, and don't know much about them. One of the vehicles that I may be using it in, does not have cigarette lighter. Since I have seen handlebar mounts for Bicycles, I am wondering if these units are like cell phones and mp3 players in that they are rechargable, since I always see them plugged in as dash mounted units, I assumed that they needed to be plugged in to work. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank you.

HI,

For the gps navigator battery matter, now give you the reply.About most of the navigators contain the built-in li-polymer battery,the capacity may be 1000mA which is different with the different navigator case room.

If you need more infomation, I can show you all the components used in the navigators by mail. Please contact me by the following mail,

So they don't need to be plugged into the cigarette lighter to work then?

Thanks.
