I purchased this as a replacement for the original Garmin cable which was lost. I thought it would be long enough as it says it's 8 feet long. That must be the length stretched out. The problem is that the coiled cable is only 2 feet long and very springy. The constant stretching to try to reach the windshield weakened the connector and the wire pulled out. So now I have to purchase another adapter. I don't recommend this product.

The original car charger that Garmin supplies is terrible. It emitted a high pitched whine, constantly needed to be jiggled to maintain a connection in the 12VDC socket, and had a much too long uncoiled cord that got in the way all the time. This one works great and is neat thanks to its short coiled cord. I have two complaints: the blue power indicator LED is way too bright. At night I need to cover it up with something. WAY too bright. And the connector that plugs into the GPS unit should be at 90 degrees, not a straight 180 degrees. The straight connector will eventually weaken and break (this is my second replacement charger - the first one lasted about a year and a half). But still the best one available and can't beat the price.

That original charger fell apart many times & we'd hunt all over the car for the pieces and screw it all back together. This is clearly of better quality even at first glance.

I had to return this charger as it did not work. Luckily it was a smooth transaction and I was fully refunded.

The car charger purchased from Amazon and supplied by Charger City did not work. After a week of waiting foe the Garmin to start working we purchased a new Garmin battery. After another week of not working we tested both items and found the car charger to be faulty. It did not conduct power. We will be returning it to Amazon and expect a full refund. We are using a charger borrowed from a friend and will not be purchasing another. Thanks.

Purchased this for my Garmin after original fell apart and this unit was "dead". I didn't care enough to send it back, rather decided you get what you pay for and ordered a brand cord.

Garmin GPS's are great...their accessories suck...This coiled power cord and a $4 GA-VENT vent mount did the trick
