User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars nuvi replacement cable
Great product. I lost the cable that came with my nuvi 750. This one is the perfect replacement. I would buy again.

5 Stars Great Item
I needed this Garmin 010-10747-03 12 volt Adapter Cable to replace one that stopped working. I have an older street pilot Garmin C530. I would recommend this replacement to anyone. The price was very reasonable and it arrived in one day.

5 Stars No substitute for this adapter
We lost our original cable and tried a department store replacement that plugs directly into the mini-usb port. It worked fine for a while but after a time began to fit less securely. The result was that the Garmin would blink on and off while we were trying to use it. I think that this would always be a problem with that type of connector – they are just not made for in-car use.

This original connector snaps into the window mounting bracket securely and so should never have the problem that the after-market chargers do.

4 Stars Works on c550
This charger works good; it fits snug though so make sure you pull it out gently, that’s how I broke the first one

1 Star Wrong item sent…but satisfied with outcome
I had to open the package to see the connector which was NOT what I ordered. I contacted the vendor who said because I opened the package I couldn’t return it. I replied that they had my money and I had a connector I couldn’t use. They reconsidered; I returned item and got refund. Shouldn’t have to go through this if item isn’t the correct product.

This AC Wall Charger with US plug is specifically designed for your Magellan GPS receiver to charge the built-in Lithium-ion battery and keep your Magellan RoadMate or Maestro GPS powered and charged up for hours of navigation, music listening and photo viewing.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Function
This wall charger is great for my Magellan Maestro 3140. I like having the option of charging my Maestro at home while I program new addresses.

5 Stars Power cord.
This charger was perfect for our Magellan GPS. Was required to upload maps and updates.

5 Stars It works!
I was surprised, this charger actually works! So many of the chargers sold seperately now days don’t work. If you have any of these models for the Magellan and need to charge in house rather than in your car, this charger will work for you.

5 Stars Necessary for Map Upgrades
I just upgraded the maps on my Maestro 3140 to the 2008/2009 versions, and the AC adaptor is just about required for keeping the unit powered up during the multiple hour upgrade cycle (I’ve read, and the upgrade software says, that interrupting the update process by running out of power or some other reason will end very badly). It also seems that the car adaptor doesn’t do as good a job as plugging it in at home and letting it charge overnight. I already had one around the house somewhere but couldn’t find it, so I figured the only way I’d find that one was to buy another.

5 Stars AC Power Cord
My Magellan Roadmate 3000T GPS did not come with an AC Adaptor. This is the only place I could find one. Great purchase. Good price and fast delivery.

1 Star Is there a review less than 1……..
I have ordered two of these for my children for Christmas…..both didnt want to tell me that neither one of them worked til now. This stinks, now I have to try and figure out if Magellan will stand by this product or did I just made an expensive error. With two items being defective and factory refurbished not fixed….I would not waste my time or money. Spend the extra get something that has not been returned!!!

3 Stars Good GPS, bundled accessories are iffy.
The GPS works very well. The maps are old, but that’s not a huge deal. My main beef is with the chargers. Neither one fits into the socket on the GPS particularly well, so the battery shutoff reminder is almost constantly being activated. Also, the fuse in the car charger is very fickle, so we’ve had to replace that more than once already. If it weren’t for these issues, it would have been a 5 star review.

5 Stars Great!
This is a great product! I love it! The only problem I have is that some streets aren’t in the system. My current street is not, and I’ve lived here for two years! Oh well, can’t have everything! I love the fact hat I can search by Points of Interest. This is a BIG help!

4 Stars Inexpensive GPS
Great price. Probably “older” technology or look (I don’t know, I’m just guessing — I wasn’t in the market for a GPS but couldn’t resist at the price). But quite functional, and the little thing is a lot smarter than I am. Pretty easy to use/figure out, too.

5 Stars Great GPS
I brought this for a gift for my husband and we used it the day he got it. It works great and he was pleased with it and so was I. We went to Chicago and got lost because we didn’t follow the directions it gave, but it got us back on track and we ended up where we wanted to be pretty quick. After that my husband was convinced that this thing knew what it was doing! I was worried that a refurbished one would be a problem, but so far, so good. I liked saving money and my husband liked the ability to go places without having to download maps, etc.

Garmin Travel Accessory Pack for all nuvi 4 3 inch Portable GPS Devices




Includes 4.3″ Carry Case, AC Adapter, and USB Cable / For Nuvi 2xxW, 2×5W, 6xx, 7xx, 8xx series GPS models

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Garmin Travel Pack
The Garmin Travel Pack is a nice set. It includes everything the Garmin needs. I do like the case to protect the Garmin. I would like to comment though about the USB cable. It should have been included with the Garmin. Just another way for the manufacture to sqeeze more money from the consumer!

5 Stars Everything needed in one package
Each component in the travel package is exactly right. The leather sleave fits my Garmin 760 perfectly and is easy to use. The wall charger provides the essential option to in-car charging. The USB cable is a good-to-have spare for the one shipped with the GPS.

5 Stars Don’t leave home without it!
Although this includes a USB cable like the one that comes with the Nuvi 885T the other accessories will come in handy both at home and when traveling abroad. Highly recommended to expand your GPS’ usability and to protect your investment.

4 Stars Peace of Mind
I purchased this in conjunction with the purchase of a Garmin Nuvi 255w.

I read where other reviewers used other USBs and chargers with their Garmins. I did not feel comfortable doing this, because I did not now if any damage would result. What I did not want to see was little whiffs of smoke coming from the Garmin. So, for peace of mind, I bought this kit.

I am satisfied with this purchase.

5 Stars Well Worth It
I missed this, or it was not available at the time when I made my purchases.

I bought each item in the kit separately and paid nearly double for what the kit cost.

This is well worth the price.

1 Star Garmin sells 3 AC chargers. This is for StreetPilot c3xx.
010-10618-00 for StreetPilot c310 c320 c330 c340.

010-10747-04 for StreetPilot c510 c530 c550 c580.

010-10723-00 for StreetPilot i2/3/5 and all Nuvi.

GPS may charge via USB. It’s slower, but save $! :-D eal

5 Stars nice replacement charger
i have the garmin streetpilot c320. i’ve had it for almost 3 years now. but the other day i left the stand on the windsheild, in over 90 degree heat. so it was even hotter in my car.

the ac adapter in my car was still plugged in to the stand, and when i pulled it out, the charger part of the stand broke off when i pulled it.

i love my gps, i dont know what i’d do with out it, so i had to get a replacement.

i decided to get this, so i dont have to mess with cords in my car. i can just bring the gps into the house when the battery is low. its really nice not have to wrap the stiff ac cord up when i put my gps away when not using it.

5 Stars Garmin A/C Charger
I misplaced my original charger for my Garmin GPS and could not find a charger anywhere else but Amazon.

3 Stars You don’t need it
I don’t know why you would need this. We ordered it and only used it one time. After figuring out how to use our Garmin we discovered that our model does not hold a charge, thus we cannot carry it around and use it. To use it as a GPS, it has to be in a car and plugged into the outlet there. You wouldn’t really have a need to have your GPS plugged in at your home, because it isn’t moving and cannot function.

5 Stars Garmin charger
I have never used the USB cord since I first set up my Garmin C340, so this is perfect to put a charge on my Streetpilot whether at home before heading out or when traveling. The price is great! Add it to the Garmin carrying case to get the free shipping. Awesome combo.
