Signal is spot on mate. Being mounted on the outside of the car makes all the difference

They mean to turn the USB socket on. If you plug another USB device (i.e. a memory stick) does the laptop recognise it ? Do you get any notifications at all when you plug the GPS device in ? Did it come with any software ?
