Gilsson GHS-12V Garmin Nuvi 600 to 5000, StreetPilot C510 to C580 and Zumo 400 to 550 12V DC Cigarette Lighter Adapter (Black)

This cable is specifically designed for Garmin Nuvi, StreetPilot, Zumo GPS receivers. It will power and charge your Garmin GPS receiver at the same time. It utilizes a proprietary 18-pin connector that connects either directly to the GPS or through the Garmin cradle.
Customer Review: A Great Replacement
I purchased a Garmin Nuvi and have been using it for several months. One problem I encountered is that the end of the 12V (cigarette lighter) adapter came unscrewed and the parts inside fell out--a spring, fuse, etc. The second time this happened I couldn't find all of the parts so the cable was useless! I purchased this cable as a replacement and it seems to fit and work perfectly with the Garmin.
Customer Review: It didn't work
Unfortunately, the cord I received plugged into my gps, but would not charge it. So, it was a waste of money for me. I had to use my computer to charge my gps and use batter power when I drive, which is what I wanted to avoid.
