Gilsson GHS 12V Cigarette Lighter Adapter for Garmin n vi 600 to 5000 StreetPilot C510 to C580 and Zumo 400 to 550 Black

Gilsson GHS 12V Cigarette Lighter Adapter for Garmin n vi 600 to 5000 StreetPilot C510 to C580 and Zumo 400 to 550 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.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Does not fit Zumo 550.
The Zumo 500 and Zumo 550 look almost identical, but they have different connectors. The Zumo 500 uses an 18-pin flat plug (which this product has), but the Zumo 550 uses a USB mini-B style plug. I couldn’t use it since it didn’t fit, so I can’t comment on its performance.

5 Stars Gilsson GHS-12V Cigarette Lighter Adapter
Great product. Fits and works with my Garmin StreetPilot C530. No problems with shipment/receipt of item.

5 Stars Garmin 760 power cord
My dog chewed up my Garmin power cord for my Nuvi 760 while I was at school, so I bought this one. It arrived in a couple of days and works perfectly.

1 Star It TOOK 7 days to be “ready to be shipped” by AMAZON
Not worth the trouble. The item was “in stock” but took 7 days for amazon to ship the item. No help from costumer service. Plus, another 8 days with good old free shipping to get it. So don’t buy it unless you can wait 15 days or more to get it.

5 Stars 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.

This is great news, and the 3G iPhone tethering is expected to be available soon, there is no word on how much AT&T will charge for this service, but I doubt it will be free. There is no word on whether O2 will follow suit in the UK or on any of the other providers in Europe. via Gear Fuse This is a Syndicated post from iPhone Sync. This is a post f

An alternative for charging

August 13th, 2008 Power Gadget Reviews No comments
Here is an interesting item I saw today on everythingusb.com that I thought was cool if you have a need for a slew of extra USB charging ports while you are driving. A new product from USB fever called the Car Charger with 4 USB Ports and 1 Cigarette Socket has four USB ports for your gadgets and you still get that cigarette adapter to use for other types of charging. The adapter can output 2000 milliamps of power, accepts one 12 V to 24 V input and includes a changeable car style fuse
