Well it's a point of view
Just as a matter of interest, how fast does the Tom Tom go through batteries in your battery extender, on rides over 200K?
When the TT low batt level notice appears, I plug in the USB batt box. The TT internals recharge in about 4 hours while the TT is still running. The internals are 2200 mAHr.
The TT icon will be a 'lightning flash' while charging, and then change to a green battery when charging is complete.
I ride a 200 on the internals and the ride is finished with the 'lighning flash' showing.
One run of the internals and a set of 2700 mAHr rechargables will get me through a 300.
When running on internals, TT shuts the screen if there is more than two miles to the next instruction. When charging, it doesn't.
If I approach a junction and am curious, I tap the screen and the map appears, to shut down again after 10 seconds.
After using Garmin for ten years ( Legend and Edge 605 ) this is a VERY LOW price to pay for some intelligent autorouting and absence of firmware update jokes,,,,,
