OK, I was slow to grasp the concept about the conventional usb plug and a usb plug for powering the unit. Awhile back jjnoble suggested this gpscity link for a power cable. At the time I didn't really make the connection that cables that looked the same may be wired differently. I ordered one this morning. Am I correct to assume that those of you using this connection have about a 15 second "boot up"?
