GPS query

Hi zeropoints, I purchased the xgps160 as it was ipad compatable. When I recieved it, there were no lights as if there was insuffucient power. Tried charging to no avail. Ipad wall charger, from the computer and from the ute. Gave up after 2days and a couple of phone calls to the supplier hence returned and was suppiled a replacement. Just bad luck I thought.

Second new device, opened box and have power lights on etc. Here is where it get tricky. Placed the supplied cord into device and instantly all lights disappear, no power. Once again tried charging using supplied equipment to no avail. Rang supplier and we both do not know what is happening, so to make it easier I have gone back to the 150A on the advice of 2 other members from this forum whom I respect greatly over the years. One of these members has the 150A and new had an once of trouble. The other member is tech savvy and has a similar product, but both could not enlighten me to any issues

I do not know if it is a crook batch or not, and awaiting to hear back to the problem that has plagued me. The supplier is a reputable aviation supplier here in Melbourne. I thank you for your input that you own one , but did not state directly whether it is the 150A gps or the new 160 gps

Thanks for your input. It seems to be a power problem. It will not switch on, or any lights to glow showing power on or enabled. We have also tried to download update, even though power light not on. In both cases absolutely zip.
The receptionist I spoke to has been great, and will try and enlighten me down the track to what has been happening. Yes it has been frustrating to say the least.
