Using my Sat Nav in USA?

Question

yes, i've got a USA map installed but what about power supply in USA cars - are the cig lighters the same as in the UK to run them? thx

Answer 1

The "Cigar Lighters" are universally standardised. Many people wrongfully call it the "cigarette lighter". It has been called the "Cigar Lighter" since the early days of motoring. This was simply because the only people with cars were extremel wealthy and male. Most smoked cigars to impress others. Having a cigar lighter was a luxury. It would be like having a DVD player in today's cars. Anyway, the answer is yes! However, it would be wise to take a spare battery or two as well.
