Although the SB-2106 Portable Power Supplier works, it has a very annoying flaw important to my intended use. The connectors provided for the power pack work but when using the power supply to my Garmin GPS, the design of the connectors proves to be very poor. I use the Garmin on a road bike and the multiple connectors and the spool and the plug and the power supply are bad because they are so cumbersome.
The two connectors required by your power supply plug into the Garmin stick out of the bottom in a very awkward way ( NOTE: the photo in you advertisement don't depict the two necessary connectors, the photo shows just a wire coming out of the Garmin). It would all work fine if it was just sitting on a table, but on a bike or in any portable use, it's a mess. It's just a matter of time before the multiple plugs get broken when hooked together into the GPS.
So, if you want to use this power supply on a bike, you will need to build a cable to attach it. A simple short cable, Garmin to Gomadic power supply is needed. I know, this was done for flexibility, but in the end it's not good for portable use.
I wouldn't recommend your device for cyclist use because of this connector design.
