Is it recharging?

[Simpo Two]

I have a TomTom One that's not been used for a while so will be totally flat.

I connected it to Tom Home via USB and it's spent an hour downloading stuff - but there's no indication that it's charging. Does it charge automatically as soon as it's connected or do I have to do this in-car? Ta!

HI Mate, I've sort of gone through the same thing with a new tomtom xxl iq. I just guessed that by plugging it into the usb port it would charge, but I don't think it does. Spent all afternoon with it plugged in and then when had it set up in the car and clicked it on, the battery still showed pretty dead.

I can't stand having wires trailing through the car so went on Amazon and bought a mains charger, delivered for about £11.00 I think.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that In fact when I unplugged and replugged it, I then got the option of connecting to the computer or not, and when I chose no, it behaved as normal and I could see the charging indicator - so I think it's OK after all.
