Digital camera reviews of Garmin USB Cable
Digital camera Review: Cable works great with my nuvi!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought a Garmin nüvi 205 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator here on Amazon and wanted to register it, so I had to pick up this cable. If you have a Garmin and you don't have this cable, GET IT!
This cable will allow you to register your Garmin online, which should be done for warranty purposes anyway, plus you can download other vehicles, voices, and maps, including those of foreign countries.
Also, I can charge my Garmin via my laptop instead of in the car all the time. It allows me to run my Garmin on battery power more and plug in another devices, such as my MP3 FM transmitter or power inverter. Then, when I get home or back to the hotel room, I can just plug my Garmin into my computer and let it charge up for the next day.
These cables are inexpensive to get (I think I paid less than $7.00 total here on Amazon whereas other stores had them for $20.00-$40.00 or you could only get them in an accessory kit, which I didn't want or need), so if you are getting a Garmin, add this cable on to your order. You will not regret it, especially if you travel a lot.
Digital camera Review: Did not fit my Garmin Nuvi
Summary: 1 Stars
Advertised for a Garmin, However, it did not fit mine. Wasn't worth the trouble to return due to shipping and restocking fee. Seller should be more specific.
Digital camera Review: Did what I needed, not what I wanted.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this cable to charge my Garmin Nuvi 255w as my cigarette lighter in my car just died, thus making my car charger useless. This does allow me to charge my GPS through a computer but I was also hoping to get map updates ect. but it doesn't seem to work for that. Serves my purposes but does not go above and beyond.Digital camera Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
The vendor who sold this is excellent, and the review is not a reflection on them...they are 5 star.
In selling this cable, Garmin has provided an aftermarket product that really has a one time use for most people. You buy the GPS, and you need this cable to download the latest maps to your Nuvi (or other). Once you have done the download, this cable is effectively useless, as you wont have any need, (at least that I can see), to ever use the cable again.
Shame on you Garmin! This should have been part of the original purchase, and not an aftermarket part to make the company a few more dollars.
Digital camera Review: Do NOT buy this. Got mine for 73 cents at monoprice.com
Summary: 1 Stars
Always shop around for things like this, but monoprice.com has the best quality and prices for all cables and more. I got this GPS cable for 73 cents and an hdmi 1.3 cable for like $9.
