This adapter puts my Garmin GPS unit into the computer connect mode, so it's not suitable for its intended purpose of providing power for use. Additionally the curly cord is too short. The seller authorized a return but will not pay for shipping. Shipping would eat up the refund, so it's a loss. Stay away from this one.

This charger does just what it should at a price that's far below the OEM cost. But the picture doesn't show how short the output cable is, only about half the length of the Garmin original. The cord is coiled, but it's quite stiff and doesn't stretch out too easily. Still, it was long enough for my small car; other users might find this too short for them. Also it's a straight plug for the receiver, while the original has a right angle one. This makes the plug stick out farther in the back. And coupled with the short cord, it puts some extra strain on the receiver power jack. I just needed to move the Garmin a little on the windshield, but again this may be a concern for some users. I docked this adapter a star because of these issues.
Other than the short cable, this is a great value. It powers and charges the receiver just like the original, and you can't beat the price. I have no idea how long it will last, but if I need to replace the charger again I'll probably come back for another of these.

This charger will put your GPS into PC sync mode, disallowing you from actually USING your GPS while it is charging in your car. Completely useless. I don't understand why some reviewers didn't have this problem and others do there must be different units coming from different sellers.
