I bought the "combo" pack of three power supply-chargers for my Magellen Roadmate. The price was too good to be true. I should have known but the ad said they were gauranteed to work. Well, you guessed it, NONE of the three - Power connection to PC, power connection to house current or power connection to automobile worked. As soon as I made the connection to the GPS unit, the GPS produced a screen that said "you are connected to a USB device. Follow the instructions on your computer screen." I thought that maybe leaving the thing connected to my car would charge the GPS anyway but it didn't. Same scenario with the 110V wall unit. The computer attachment sort of works but there is nothing on the computer (via a message) or the GPS unit that says the GPS is being charged up so how do I know if it is being charged? I was able to download some updates from the Magellan website and was able to transfer them to the GPS unit but what good is that if the GPS cannot be recharged or be kept plugged into the car? I paid something like $15.00 for all three units combined. Too cheap to even bother with a "gaurantee".

The product shipped to me may very well be what I ordered, but it sure doesn't look like the picture of the product advertised. The advertised picture shows a cable with a single connector each end. The one I received had a standard USB one end and two mini-USB marked C and D on the other end. You win some, you lose some.

This is really a mess, create a lot of problem for me during driving when i attached with my GPS.

It is usb cable which I was looking for and couldn't find except on here and the price was great. Thank you

Los the data cable for my GPS and when the GPS was not working well, had to update the firmware and this was a Godsend. Have been using this for a year and have had no issues. Bought this for like a couple of bucks on Amazon compared to $25 from Magellan, cant beat Amazon!

My product is great it works fine, appears to be the exact product for my Magellan Roadmate.

Don't hesitate to buy this brand. It's a lot cheaper than OEM, but works the same. Good company also!

Since Magellan did not ship this cable with the GPS - This was a well priced cable that does the job well. Arrived quickly!

Received the cable today in the mail. It was boxed so no damage could come to it. The speed of delivery was great. I haven't used it, but then, outside of a manufacturing defect, what could be wrong with it? Once again, GREAT job AMAZON!

I found the Magellan RoadMate 1200 very easy to use. I plugged it in, put my home address in, input my destination, then I was ready to go within a few minutes. The GPS was directing me to go a particular way to the highway, but I chose another route....no prob, the gps picked up where I was going and directed me that way. My cousin had inadvertently given me the wrong street name and number, but because I was in the general area I saw the correct street and was able to get to my destination. I love the verbal directions because I don't have to keep looking at the gps. To sum it up, I love the RoadMate 1200, and to top it off, the price was great!
