I have done it before. The only thing I found is that the BN will not charge if the car is off (off the car's battery); it seems to need the motor running. I would use the new-style BN charger (the two-piece model), but I had no problems. This is not a guarantee, just saying my BN didn't blow up. (I was more nervous than I thought possible when I first plugged it in, though). 


Have a great day,
Alex

Thanks, Alex, that's what I was afraid of, losing everything 
before the

recalculation.
Are you sure the adapter of which you speak would be safe to use 
with the

BN? It sure would be handy.

I think that recalculating erases all previous route info, and
that is the problem.  As far as charging goes, Wal-Mart sells a
converter that plugs into the car's power jack and can then
accept normal (120 volt) plugs.



Have a great day,
Alex

Hi,
I am definitely a happy camper tonight.  Our 430 mile trip went

quite well,

and recalculating seemed to work pretty well, also.
I enjoyed hearing all the details as we moved along, altitude,

lat-long,

etc.
Is there a way to skip down in the list of pois that you get with

the space

f command, if there are hundreds of them, as is true in large

cities? That

would really be convenient.
Also, after recalculating everything, I was hoping that I could

save the

route and that I would have the entire recalculated route for

future use.

Well, that didn't work for me.  All I have is the last little

tiny bit.  Is

there something I did incorrectly?
I wish that there was a car charger for the BrailleNote.  With

the blue

tooth on for ten hours, my battery in the BN is really quite low,

and it

began with a full charge.
This is indeed a terrific system!
Kathy
