Also.. according to the uk forums on these other people have had this problem - buying 3rd party chargers.
Various people suggested removing the middle pins and/or cutting the data wires. But no-one seems to have managed to get it going yet!

This is so frustrating, as the built in battery is next to useless... I went from glenfield to barrys point road and back and it was almost flat!
I am going to be seriously peed off if I have to buy the oem charger after all this kurfufle

Disco drop me a PM and i can pass you the email of a good friend of mine who designed alot of the Navman ICN and marine stuff. He can tell you what the story is.
Generally mini usb just charges off the supply pins. However i have had a device that received a 'charging' message from the comms pins too. Pissed me right off.

Disco, that thing where it thinks it's connected to a computer sounds familiar. I build an iPot charger (well, any USB charger), and the interesting thing about charging an iPod, is that it gets the voltage from the power pins on USB like normal. However, it won't actually charge until you trick it into thinking it is connected to something; the way you do this is put a small resistor between the data lines.
This method of detecting connection seems common across many devices that charge via USB. You probably have to find the resistance value the Navman is looking for. Maybe it's nothing and you have continuity between the two data pins?
$35 for the oem one ehh... you've spent more than 3.5 hours on this judging by teh time stamps... your time has gotta be worth more than $10 an hour surely?
Got my money back on the USB thingy, now have to wait while they order the oem charger...![]()

wrong usb plug?
Some days you just want to curl in a ball and die
Hack saw time(I assume the mount is blocking the right angle plug body?)
Ahh. The dreaded primary interface problem.

yes, and yes.
Looks like I will have to get out my hacksaw and start cutting the overly expensive-I-moaned-about-it-for-ages-mount just to make it fit... *sigh*
I'm betting after all this kurfuffle the bloody navman will shit it'self and i'll have to start all over again...![]()
