Global Position System ( GPS)

I do lost my way in in Kuala Lumpur many many times and often have to refer to the thick map. So finally I bought a GPS...its Garmin1350 for RM690.00. Comes compete with car charger, 2pcs interchangeable front bezel and vehicle mount holder.

The Garmin booklet only advice to charge the battery at least 4 hours...I tried for 4 hours...but after using about 1 hour..battery already flat. There was not many information on the net on how long is the charging process or if there is any notification by the GPS set that charging is completed with in the 4 hours!

So I tried yesterday and this morning I got my answer:

It took me 11 hours to charge by computer usb. I've yet to try using the mobile charger...I hope the charging will be much quicker.
