Garmin edge 500 Aussie adapter plug
Postby Warnesy » Tue Dec 25, 2012 2:40 pm
Managed to score myself one of these as a chrissy present.
It was purchased from wiggle and comes with three plugs, but not an Aussie one.
Any suggestions on where I can pick one up from. Google is failing me in this!
Thanks

Been there done that...
You can just buy an international adapter for say $12, and stick the UK plug in that or you can obtain a Garmin Oz charger from most GPS suppliers for about $30.00
Cheers

just buy a travel plug. you can find them just about anywhere. I am pretty sure you can also just use a standard USB charger.

No they don't the little <naughty word here>. This is to encourage local sales apparently. As I said you can buy another charger unit WITH the Oz adapter but not just the little adapter faceplate.
Sucks really..

I do the same with my GoPro camera as well.
If you need a wall charger, places like OfficeWorks sell very cheap wall USB chargers. I got mine for $5 on special. I use it for any device requiring a USB cable to charge.
