how many watts does the SmartNAV consume ?

Post by Douglas Hunter »

Hi,
I intend to run the SmartNAV from a battery powered USB hub, I'd like to know how many watts the SmartNAV uses so I can work out which battery to use and how long the hub will last before I need to recharge its battery.

Hope you can help

Hello:

With the SmartNAV turned on, meaning the software is open, you can expect about 1.25W of power being used, with it off, expect about .5W. Hope this helps.

Hi Douglas,

The SmartNAV settings are all stored as profiles on your actual computer. Completely powering down the SmartNAV will not lose any settings.

Thanks,
Kevin
