Digital camera reviews of Garmin Vehicle DC Power Adapter for eTrex and Geko (010-10203-00)
Digital camera Review: Garmin Car Charger
Summary: 4 Stars
Am using the car charger with a Garmin eTrex Legend and it works just like it should. I can use it on car trips without worrying about the batteries running down (Be aware that it does NOT charge the batteries, just powers the Garmin so the batteries are not used. A separate battery charger is needed.) Main complaint is that the charger is specific to only my Garmin eTrex and that all companies are doing the same thing. Presently I have to travel with a charger for the Garmin, one for my cellphone and another for my iPod. As a result I own six chargers; three for the car and three for the wall. And add three more cables for connecting each to the PC.Digital camera Review: Garmin Cigarette Lighter Adapter

A necessity for the Garmin. Used the adapter to power the unit on my motorcycle. Works like a charm.Digital camera Review: Garmin Vehicle DC Power Adapter for eTrex and Geko (010-10203-00)
Summary: 3 Stars
Finish: Satisfactory
Functional Rating: Not tested Yet.
Problem: The GPS end USB connector is not supplied. Which is not good.
Alternative: Any Vehicle DC Power adaptor ranging 3.5 to 4 volt is good substitute.
Digital camera Review: Garmin accessories ripoff.
Summary: 1 Stars
Garmin's apparent business plan:
1. Create a bewildering series of products using the same basic integrated circuits, but different connectors.
2. Ripoff the customers on accessories.
This adapter should sell for less than $25: look elsewhere.
Digital camera Review: Good product, but an expensive accessory.
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is a must if you use your GPS in your car. It will save you many, many batteries. I like the quality. It feels solid. The LED on the lighter plug is useful. It indicates that you have power. The piece that snaps into the eTrex seems to connect well. It's never come unplugged after rolling around in my truck. The cord is plenty long for my needs--about four feet. My only complaint is the cost. The price was a little more than I would liked to have spent, but it's the only game in town.
