DOESN'T WORK WITH PALM TREO PRO
I tried various cables with various pieces of equipment. I was able to power up my Garmin and run/charge it. However, when I plugged in my data cable for my phone, it didn't charge the battery. The phone thinks it is in Sync mode. I did try the cables (two of them) with other sources (not the PC) and they both worked fine, just with this 12V DC USB module it doesn't work.
Pros: works with usb port to garmin streetpilot c340
Cons: doesn't work with my palm treo pro
Recommend: NO

12 VOLT DC USB-CIGARETTE LIGHTER PLUG
I very much like the concept of this Cigarette- USB adapter, but it doesn't work. Whenever I plug it into the Nuvi GPS it acts as though it is connected to a computer and will not power up the GPS receiver.
Pros: good concept to charge batteries
Cons: doesn't work to power the gps when switched on
Recommend: NO

NOT AS PICTURED
I ordered this because it showed the USB port on the side of the unit. This would have been more convenient in my truck. The one I received has the USB port on the end the same as most. It works fine but I already have two the same style.
Cons: not as shown
Recommend: YES

NICE IDEA
On my Suzuki King Quad 450m the adapter does not stay in the 12v power port. Belkin solved this problem with a rubber ring at the end of the adapter. It holds it from vibrating loose.
Pros: good idea
Cons: vibrates loose in the socket
Recommend: NO

GREAT IDEA
This is a perfect solution for powering your GPS inside your car or truck. I was even able to use the USB cable provided with my GPS unit. I hope that they make a waterproof one so I can use it on my motorcycle.
Pros: great for saving batteries when 12v is at hand!

Worked good for a while (probably less than 6 months), but then the USB plug started getting unreliable. I'd have to monkey around to get the cable positioned just right in order for it to maintain a connection with my GPSr.

More versatile than dedicated auxiliary power adapters for each pda, blackberry or other USB powered device.devices. It is a very solid, well built unit. Works great with the GPS and now I can use the back lighting without killing the battery. Great value!
