Will the data cable allow gps navigation while charging? Is is a micro or mini connection?

Hello, The entire unit was returned, so I/we have NO experience w/it. Wish I could be more helpful.

Yes it charges whilenavigating if plugged in to a lighter device. It is not the smallest cable like for a cell phone not sure which that is called. It is the wide fatter one so I assume micro not a mini.

Yes it does charge while you are driving and using the gps for instructions.

It has a standard UBS receptacle similar to a type 2 on a computer or laptop. I got it for charging a cell phone but I would think it should work for a GPS as well. I have tried it with my iPhone and it takes a lot of cranking to get the battery level to increase even a litttle so be aware of that. It does seem to charge but not as nearly as quick as I would have expected or desired. Hope that helps.

Data and charging. I will add they aren't the sturdiest cables. The mini USB cable lasted only 6 mo, but I used it often. The micro and 30 pin I use less often but I learned to be gentle when pulling them out. The are holding up so far.

Yes, it's a Samsung charger. It will charge the Galaxy S4 even while using GPS.

Charge port is in the upper right corner of the unit. Full charge last about 12 hours. Charger included. My husband loves it. Don't know about GPS, but he says after charging, turn on and golfbuddy satelite instantly tracks the course you are on, No fees ever.

With Nuvi 705 series, it has a powered cradle. This charger has a mini-USB connector and it will connect directly to the GPS not to the powered cradle.

From what I remember it had a very small, probably micro, connector. I no longer have the Tom Tom as I find Google maps/navigator on my phone much more efficient. It also stopped working after TomTom sent a download and they refused to do anything about it so I would also recommend you get a Garmin!

Yes. It has an external GPS puck on several yards of cable that, I'm told, must be plugged in. I haven't used it yet. My son just gave me one he had been given by his previous employer.

The mini-USB on the TomTom is for charging and not data - it'll work for charging but don't expect the USB from your vehicle to work like an AUX.

The unit I purchase on July 28, 2013 contained two cables. One USB to micro USB and one USB to mini USB. GPS City thru Amazon.com

R. Agrawal - I don't know actually if it is a good idea to use that usb port (intended for Computer connection) to charge the unit but since the unit is charging also while connected to the computer so maybe it is ok =) Anyway, Yes I was able to use my GPS to navigate using the USB port (intended for Computer connection) to charge from the car power outlet. You can try to wait for atleast 30-60 sec for your GPS to recognize that the source is not a computer but rather a wall/car power outlet, your GPS should reboot and you can then use it to navigate. Maybe less than a minute of waiting

I have not had a chance to use the charger while riding with the GPS yet so cannot comment on the charger. In order to answer this we need more information. Are you calling the charger the GPS unit? Is the iphone 5s plugged into the same location as the gps for power? If both of these are trueand the iphone has no problems than it looks like the GPS or its charger are a problem. Is everything plugged into the unit properly? When it was wired in is it a good ground location?

Yes does. There are specific situations: your phone is GPS enable or during data transfer..
