I have been experimenting with Memory Map on my Galaxy Ace Plus. Relatively small screen, I know, but mounted on a longish flexible windscreen mount it sits behind the A pillar and is well within reach and quite readable. I used it without problem for a 5,000 km tour around Queensland but now it has become temperamental. I also use it for hands free calls with my Garmin GPS. The phone runs Android 2.4.

I run both units through the 12v adapter with a longer usb cable to reach the phone. The 12v double adapter is of good quality with reasonable sized wires. It cost about $15 from memory. I use a usb 12v charger in the socket on the adaptor that feeds the phone.

With the vehicle parked, ignition on the accessory position and both phone and GPS turned on the phone will fully charge without any problems. It is only when moving that the problem starts. After varying periods of time the charge function starts to drop out and then reconnect - sometimes just a few times but at others the it clicks (the connection signal) constantly until I unplug it.

Any ideas out there? I have not been able to find any one else with this problem in an internet search.
