Go 500
I have been given this quite recently I realise it’s quite old. How do I take the name and details of the previous owner off it. Also is there another way of charging it apart from in the car? Thanks.
 
To remove the previous owner's details go to Menu > Settings > System > Select > Reset Device.

You can recharge your GPS on a mains charger for smartphones.

TomTom re-used the GO 500 name (don't know why they do that - just confuses things).
One is 'REALLY old' and one is 'old'. If your device's serial number begins with a "Q", it's just 'old'. If it begins with an "M", it deserves space in a museum o_O

But we'll assume it starts with a "Q".

As to your first question, follow Willy's suggested sequence above. That will take the device back to the factory defaults.

As to your second question, yes. A USB connection exists in the bottom of the device, left side. It's a USB Micro-B. You'll want to use a charger that provides a minimum 1A charge if you plan to light up the screen while it's plugged in.
