yeh, fully charged. i am on the power cord in the car too. it has been nothing but great since i have had it. but it will go like 10 min before finding a signal. i havent used it in a few weeks, but i have for the past few days. does it need that long to find the satellites? ---

Normally they like to sit for a min or two to latch on before you go anywhere, its alot harder for them to get a clear signal if your moving, especially turning…
