Garmin and have teamed up to offer this item in Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging, a recyclable, easy-to-open alternative to traditional packaging. This Frustration-Free Package comes without excess packaging materials such as hard plastic “clamshell” casings, plastic bindings, and wire ties. It’s designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging during shipping. The Frustration-Free Packaging on this product eliminates all PVC packaging materials and replaces them with recyclable corrugated material. This item ships in its own box, without the need for an additional shipping box. Power your GPS in your automobile with this replacement 12-volt adapter cable. Plugs into your 12V cigarette lighter receptacle and provides power to your portable nüvi GPS. Note: If you are purchasing a new Garmin nüvi GPS unit, a power cable is included in the box. This is a replacement for lost or brok (more…)
So far, this charger has worked fine. Just want to clarify, though:
You don’t need to order this separately, at least not if you order a Nuvi 350. The 350 comes with the car charger, AC charger, leather case, dash mount, and windshield mount. Don’t order this unless you want two for some reason. Many of the accessories shown on the GPS unit product page are already included.
When I purchased a Nuvi 760 this item was shown as frequently purchased with it. Unfortunately it is not compatable and cost me to return as it was my error. Power connections were not visable so how is a person to know if the adapter will work with the GPS? Guess you learn the hard way.
This accessory is part of the original package when you buy the Garmin Nuvi navigator. You also get the windshield mount, a leather envelope for the unit, and an AC charger. Don’t buy any accessories at the time of purchasing the unit. I bought this knowing I wanted and needed it and ended up with two and had to pay for return postage when I returned it because it was “My Fault” I couldn’t use it. You only need this if your original one wears out or if you want to have multiple vehicles completely equipped. The product itself is excellent and keeps the navigation unit power from being depleted while using in the car.
