Digital camera reviews of Garmin Vehicle DC Power Adapter for eTrex and Geko (010-10203-00)
Digital camera Review: Oopps!
Summary: 1 Stars
The product description says that this charger works for all Garmin e-Trex models... Oopps! Except for the Legend Cx, which is the one I happen to have, so it was an expensive mistake for me.Digital camera Review: Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this item with my Garmin etrex and it only worked for about three weeks.Digital camera Review: Poor quality & design, great Garmin Support
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for my Vista and upon first insertion into the cig. lighter it broke a small plastic tab inside the unit that prevents the side spring metal pieces (that are connected to GND when in the lighter hole) from coming in contact with a diode. This shorts the diode to ground and it blows the fuse. I rigged it to still work and had another one sent to me and I opened it and it looked fine, then I plugged it in and got a blown fuse. I opened it and the tab was broken. I then called Garmin directly and the tech support guy opened his up to look at what I was talking about. He said he had not had a problem and the company I got mine from must have gotten a bad batch. He has sent me one in the mail (no charge!) and I hope to have better luck with it. I also think this unit is a little expensive. I know it must have a regulator inside since the etrex series does not have an internal regulator(as the 12xl and many others have) but a [dollar amount] list price is ridiculous. The Garmin customer support is the best so I will give it 2 stars.Digital camera Review: Simple and to the point
Summary: 5 Stars
All I require of this cable is that it plug easily into both my car and my Garmin Venture and then power my Venture. It does that swimmingly, just as it should. The only aggravation has nothing to do with the cable: when you remove the cable, the Garmin will power down unless you hit a button telling it not to. I would often have the GPS hooked up in the car, get to the parking spot, then remove the cable in order to go and and get to the geocache. At which point the GPS would turn off (because I'd forget about the power down), and I'd have to wait around for the satellites to be found again.
Digital camera Review: This is NOT the adapter for the eTrex Vista Cx!
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this adapter because the description said "most eTrex models" and the Vista Cx was not listed as one of the incompatible models... beware, it is NOT compatible with the eTrex Vista Cx.
