| **Potential issues:** | **Potential issues:** |
| It might happen that your navi will use up too much energy via the smartphone's USB port. You can try to connect your navi to mount on the motorcycle and turn on the ignition so the navi will be powered from the bike. If that's not an option you can try a USB Y-cable with an additional power supply (often found with USB drives or [[https://amzn.to/2SBxULv|here at Amazon]]). Using the Y-cable you can connect the second USB-Port to any USB charger. | It might happen that your navi will use up too much energy via the smartphone's USB port.
