 Very Pleased September 13, 2009
The adapter works great. I can now use my G.P.S. on the boat with no wories of the battery going dead.
 Crappy design, but functionally it works. June 26, 2007

MAgellan really needs to re-think the way they do the USB adapter and charger cords. As mentioned in previous reviews, you have to take the stupid USB cord with you in your car, if you want to use the car charger. So then you have the extra USB cord flopping around all over the place. I can live with the fact that the USB cord is an annoying screw-on thing (for water resistance blah blah), but why couldn't they make the car charger use the same adapter? Ok, because then you couldn't use both cables at the same time. But they should have the USB cable plug into the car charger cable, instead of vice versa, so that you can use the car charger without extra cabling all over the place.
Also, the cord's coil is quite stiff and tends to pull relatively hard on the GPS unit if your cigarette lighter doesn't happen to be within 18" of the GPS.
Other than that... It does indeed charge the battery just fine.

This was advertised on the web site and on an e-mail sent to me by Amazon, that this unit will work with the eXplorist 300. This eXplorist has has no ports for anything to plug into it. Because this was purchased from a authorized Amazon company, I could not return without a big hastle.
Sorry this is not for the product.

The cord works just fine, but by the time you get the USB cord and the 12v cord together, there is a lot of cord. It would make more sense to have a cigarette adapter that pluged into the back of the unit the same way the USB cord does, that way there isn't a bunch of cord attached to the unit.
