Igo8 on Snooper Strabo snp350

hi all and thanks for any help. BUT is it possible to install igo8 on this device
if so plz help

Are you able to connect it to a pc and browse it's contents?

yes connected and can see files but ? what next

What files can you see?

sorry battery flat on unit get back to you asap
charger at work

the internal is not used when you connect the device to your computer via the usb cable. so what is this about your battery?

sorry the battery is flat the unit will not switch on so carnt see files
when its charged the unit connects to pc . usb is not a re-charge point on this unit

the question was posed to you as to what you see in my computer when you connect the device to the computer not what you see on the device. plug the device into your computer first and then turn the device on.

chas it's possible the device uses an external charger. I've got a tablet which won't charge off my laptop, I have to use a 12v socket.

Some USB ports are also capable to charge electronics or give power to run that external device. Some USB ports can't supply the needed power. They can be used to plug in a PC mouse or something else that requires no (or very little) power.

In front of me lies an Lacie external 2.5" HD that I can plug into this laptop by USB. It gets the power from my laptop to run. The same procedure functioned on my previous laptop. Also delivered with the HD on purchase is a second (power) cable. I think it's a USB/power plug cable. Since I never needed to use it, it's still stored in the box (and where did I leave that box again :D ). The back side of that HD has a power port next to the USB port. On some PC/laptops, that second cable can be a useful accessory, but not on this one ;)

It might help to pick another USB port.


However, when the device is developed in a way it can be charged only by a wall socket, the above is useless.
My GPS can be charged by a wall socket, only it takes much longer than by a car charger or by laptop USB. Must be something technical Fatboyfun can surely explain.

USB 2 ports on the computer are only required to supply 500mA, this is not enough for a lot of modern gadgets, this is why some items take a lot longer to charge, or sometimes not charge at all when connected to a pc, most recent USB power supplies (car and home) supply 1A

USB 3 specifies a higher current rate, could be as much as 3A, but I'm not sure exactly how much.

And are some devices not protected ? Thus no charging, better than to overcharge it?

I once accidentally shorted the power lines from my old laptops USB socket, and it turned off, so there is protection against excessive current.

think i have done it will run a one or two test runs over the next week and let you know thank for now

Have it up and running now thanks all
