1.0 out of 5 stars Mis-leading, February 26, 2010

I ordered the Car Charger since the one that came with my Nuvi a couple of years ago became worn out and broke. The new car charger I ordered doesn't allow you to use the gps while it's plugged into the lighter whereas my original did! I plugged it in my car for an hour to charge but the battery was still low. Now I have to hunt for another car charger that will allow me to use the gps while plugged in and charging.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but flawed, March 20, 2010

The charger that came with my Nuvi didn't work well. I had to fiddle with it in the outlet, it emitted an annoying high pitched squeak, and I hated the long spaghetti string cord. This was a fine upgrade. The adapter fit snugly in the outlet and worked first time, every time. The coiled cord was sturdy and much neater. The drawback is the connector pin that plugs into the GPS itself. It is straight, rather than at a 90 degree angle like the original. From the beginning I could tell that this would be problematic and I was right. The connector broke the other day leaving me on the road with no GPS (the battery died within a short time, probably because I didn't charge/spend it regularly). It lasted a little over a year and I'm ordering another since I can't stand the long straight cords that Garmin offers. But why they don't put a 90 degree pin on it, I can't figure out.

I like this adapter better than the one that came with the GPS because it has a coiled wire. Easier to store!
