I purchased this power cord for a Garmin 276 gps. I specifically wanted the one clearly pictured on the website that has the 90 deg bend at the end. I bought 2. I received the item and it does not fit the 276. The contacts are correctly placed but the rubber type product that is meant for a press fit into the gps is too small in diameter and the cord immediately falls out. The end of this cord is straight and not the 90 deg. It is packaged as a Garmin product with the 276c clearly on the package so I do not know where the problem lies. I tried to contact Antonline but they do not provide for any human to contact to explain/rectify the problem so I ended up sending the cords back and eating the shipping each way. Will never buy from Antonline again.Garmin 12-Volt Adapter Cable for GPSMap 276C (010-10516-00) I would personally verify with any vendor offering this product.

I recommend the product if it is for your specific GPS!I purchased a Garmin GPS 76CSX, and Amazon said people who buy this product also buy, and all the also buys were for different model GPS's and did not work with that unite, so be careful when ordering.

It works as it should but it's different from the picture. It doesn't carry the L shaped connector on the GPS side. It's more like an "I" connector!

I have had my original and a replacement cable with speaker break. The wiring going into the plug to the back of the Garmin unit cracks and the cable ceases to work. This adaptor cable only (without speaker) is an inexpensive solution to my problem, since my primary use of the unit is in my boat, where the speaker is useless.

The powercord sent was a straight connection rather than the 90 degree one and would not stay plugged in to the unit. I wish I would of tried it before cutting and soldering to my motorcycle connection. Tis junk and can't use it. Money wasted.

The unit arrived promptly and in perfect condition.

A firm press is necessary to seat the charger head into the receptacle on the GPS. Once that's done, it works great!

DOES NOT FIT! Product is branded with the GARMIN logo. And further states for use on GPSMAP 396 (our model). As another review states..."The contacts are correctly placed but the rubber type product that is meant for a press fit into the gps is too small in diameter and the cord immediately falls out."

Before ordering, I visited the GARMIN WEBSITE to grab the SPECIFIC PRODUCT NUMBER FOR THE CORD - to make SURE this was the right cord on the Amazon site...and IT DID MATCH.

You're forced to cut the plastic packaging to get it out to try it. I'm going to attempt sending it back...

This adapter works as it should with the Garmin 276C GPS. Some reviews made me wonder if I should order this part directly from Garmin instead of from Amazon but I was pleased with the results. Although the item I received did not have the 90 degree bend in the end that attaches to the GPS unit as shown in the picture and like my original part, it works just as well. I use this GPS for 4 wheeling off road and was delighted to find this replacement part at a reasonable price. Thanks Amazon.

I read the reviews before ordering this product but I assumed the customer who written the review stating that this product was different than the one which is shown had simply ordered the wrong cable. I ordered the cable for my 276C GPS Map and the cable that was delivered,(unlike the picture shown on the web site), did not have the 90 degree turn where it goes into the GPS. Just as the other customer had stated...the cable would not plug into my GPS. I tried it and returned it. Now I don't know where to order one to get the one that I need. Amazon was very cooperative in the return process but I still don't know what to order to get a proper replacement.

When I first tried to plug this cable into my Garmin 496, I thought the same as the reviewers who said it does not work. In fact called Garmin and complained. However I tired again, and very, very firmly pushed the plug in all the way and it works fine. It does take a lot of pressure to firmly seat it, but it does work.
