Nuvi 650 Charging

 

Real newbie here to this stuff with a new Nuvi 650.
Quick learner, though, so that may help LOL!

When it comes to charging, I do not have the AC option. Instead I am using the USB (worked fine). Now, when in the vehicle using the power there, I noticed the level of charge decreasing. Does the unit not charge except for when using the USB?

Thanks!

Check your power cord

Turn off the Nuvi, then making sure the power cord is plugged into the mount and the power source put the turned off nuvi into the mount. It should turn on and power up. I am guessing the power cord isnt getting power to the unit, On one end or the other. Mine always is charging in the car.

It should charge from the car 12v power cord. Are you sure that you are getting a good connection and power to the GPS?

I just had an experience this week where I had pulled the 12v cord out and the unit continued on battery power until it went blank. I quickly realized that the power cord was not in all the way.

I hope this helps.

Check the fuse in the Vehicle Charger tip and check your accessories fuse on the car itself. Chances are that one of those has blown. smile
