1a.: Can a second-generation iPod be run on 220V 50/60 Hz without a power

Hi, I'll be traveling to Norway this summer and was thinking of buying an iPad with downloaded maps of the cities I'll be visiting which would give me GPS capability, but now I'm thinking I'll just take my second-generation iPod with the same maps because generally my iPod meets my travel needs. I understand the iPad does not need a power converter when being charged via 220V 50/60 Hz power. It would just need a power adapter to work on the European style plugs.

So I'm wondering if my second-generation iPod also works on 220V 50/60 Hz power without a converter. I looked under Tech Specs for the iPod but did not find this information.

Also, I did not find any information about GPS for the latest iPod Touch so I'm assuming it doesn't have it, right?

Thanks.

Joyce:

The same charge can be used for your iPod, so the answer to that question would be "Yes".

The iPod Touch does not have GPS. However, it does provide location service via wifi-triangulation and the Skyhook database. Wifi is much "thicker" in most of Europe than compared to North America, so it's possible that you might have a good result.
