Power Question


Nada Clue

Recommended Posts

When plugged into the USB connection, the Etrex does not use battery power.

we do this all the time with a USB adapter connected to our power port in the truck to conserve battery while traveling between more distant caches.

We do the same with my GpsMap 62s.

Even though it wasn't asked I'll point out that plugging your gps to a usb supply with the batteries in most likely won't charge your batteries either.

Especially if they're not rechargeable! :P:
