4Cheap and Effective
By K. GENTRY
After breaking the power cord for my Magellan GPS, I looked around for a replacement. Magellan was ready to trade me a new one for $25. Same price for a generic one from an electronics store. Then I found another one here at Amazon for $12. And, finally, I came throughout this one for less than a dollar. The price disparity was so great that I was inclined to be distrustful of it is quality, but for less than a dollar I was more than willing to peril it. It works just fine. As noted by another reviewer, the cord is just a little on the short side, but I have found it long sufficient to reach over the steering wheel from the cigarette lighter to the lower left corner of the windshield in my 2003 Toyota Rav-4. I've only necessitated to use it a single time since the buy - but so far, so good.

5great replacement
By T. Caputo
Original car charger was destroyed. Tried some usb adapters and chargers, all would power the unit but would not charge the internal battery. This charger/adapter did the trick. Although it doesn't have the feel of quality as the basi (cord isn't rubberized or as long as the original) it is unquestionably worth the price. A+

4works like it is designed to...
By J. Mccart
This device works like it is designed to, nevertheless the cord is the coiled type, and seems a little short. If you are requiring to span a somewhat long distance from the GPS unit to the cigarette lighter plug, then you may consider a non-coiled design.

I have a Jeep Cherokee, and the GPS is mounted on the front windshield. Not a outstanding distance to the lighter socket, but it is a bit of a stretch with this coiled cable.

Otherwise this one works well, with a good solid connection on both ends, and an indicator (red) LED light tells you the plug is operating.
