I had the same dilema as you.  What I did was take apart the cigarette lighter

 end of the supplied car power cord and investigate.  The white wire is not connected

 to anything.  I have mine connected to aircraft power using the red wire to 12 Volts 

 and the black wire to ground.

Yea, that is what I eventually did and found the same.  AvMap Italy  responded by saying Red to +'ve Black to -'ve and white to "ground" 

  

  I'm only fitting mine into my a/c because I've already cut the  panel.  I am tempted to toss it on the pile at this stage as they have  taken 15 months of promises to supply a Southern Africa data base at a cost  (last quote) of $300!!! plus $40 for postage!! I foolishly bought it at Sun 'n  Fun last April (06) and was promised that if I brought my card in they would  supply the Europe/Africa data for free - ha ha, was I had. They put out a feeble  one 9 months ago with no city names, a few roads and some international airports  - that was it!  They talk about "their cartographer" still researching -  man any  small GPS producer in this country gets this info for nothing  without doing any "research" and can sell their product for half the price  that they want to charge me for a flash card!

  

  Thanks for your reply Bob, much appreciated

On this subject, has anyone found that your batteries drain very 

quickly?  I think my connection via the cig cord must be intermittent.
