bought two since the price is so good. However, it does not work, at least not for my Roadmate 1412. at first, it was OK. Few mins later, it started to make a screeching noice then it froze.

Item arrived as promised, in perfect condition, works great, and is priced well below other sites I have checked, or stores.

Very fast processing, relatively very cheap, and it works great - This is second time of our puchasing chargers through Amazon. We are very happy with Amazone services thanks SKG

I'm not quite sure what to say...it's a good product and does what it's supposed to do! Thank you! Okay...here goes...thanks again for a good product, and a very Happy New Year from an Amazon fan!

Just what the doctor ordered! I carry the GPS with me when I fly, then use it in rental cars. For whatever reason, my previous charger stopped working, so I needed a new one. This worked perfectly!

My wife broke our Magellan car charger when she adjusted her seat forward when the cord was caught in the railing. We had a car adapter for a cellphone that fit (i.e. both mini USB), but the charger didn't have the proper power output, which meant that the GPS had to "charge up" for a few minutes before it would turn on, and it would run out of power while we were using it.

My wife was getting mad, and thought that the GPS was broken and wanted me to buy a new one. However after some research I learned that I simply needed a new car charger, which led me to this product.

This car charger does exactly what it's supposed to do. It keeps the GPS charged, and there is no longer any "charge time" or random shut downs during operation because my GPS is now getting all the power it needs.

My only complaint (and this is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5) is that it gets pretty hot when it's being used, and I'm worried that it'll burn out in a few months. However, for the time being at least, it works great.

Did NOT work with my Magellan 1470 GPS. Packaging listed only cell phone applications. It did work with other more generic devices, so the charger doesn't appear to be defective, just not compatible with Magellan 1470.
Quick shipping, response and refund from seller (Bastexwireless) and from Amazon, but the product applications have not been changed and they should be.

This is a cell phone charger and will not power my Magellan RoadMate 1470 GPS. When I used it to power the RoadMate it turn on for an few seconds then turned back off. Clearly not able to deliver the power needed to run the GPS. It may be able to trickle charge the GPS battery when the GPS is off, but this does not help me since the outlets in my civic are not active unless the keys are in the ignition. Plus on a long trip, the charging will not be able to keep up with the battery drain.

This worked for the first week. It would charge my gps while driving but as soon as you disconected the gps died. The next week the charger came apart right in my hands. Tried to charge my gps and it just broke into peices. Very disappointed!

The cord works great. Have had no trouble with it yet. I would order it again. The first one got lost in the mail, but a replacement was sent promply.
