will this charger run the gps while it is charging it? I have a Garmin Nuvi 205W

No, it will take 3-4 minut to start GPS after your car start. maximum after 3-4 times of your car off and on it will stop to work. Then purchased Orginal Garmin Charger with 19USD and it is working perfectly.

Yes, if the plug size is the same and if your voltage is the same (5amp?) it should work. But, these chargers and cables are so inexpensive now that I won't risk it with my Garmin. Better safe than sorry!

Yes, it is compatible. However, the charger will connect to the powered cradle which came with your GPS. It will not connect directly to the GPS.

If your Nuvi 205 uses a mini USB charger (in which it does look like this particular model does use a Mini USB) then the two will be compatible.

I own 2 4700 GPS's and can confirm the USB will indeed charge the units, albeit slowly. If left plugged in for a few hours the units achieve a full charge from my UBS port on the home desktop.

I don't have either that Garmin or charger. When I bought my Nuvi I received a charger for my car, another for the computer and one for 110v. I would suggest u go online to garmin.com (mygarmin if u registered ur product) and ask. Better to phone if you can, answering emails is not a Garmin strong point.

Yes. I bought a standard adapter and plugged the Garmin charger into it and it worked fine.

What model did the charger come from? I am no expert on Garmin compatibility but it might be worth your while to go over to the Garmin website and ask the question there.

The Garmin Nuvi GPSs have a built in protection circuit to prevent overcharging. The OEM charger chip I believe identifies that it is a charger. Non Garmin power cables sometimes allow the GPS to think that it is connected to a PC or other device and prevent the battery from charging.

It's working for my Garmin nuvi 660, but I don't know about the charging port of your 260w

R. Agrawal - I don't know actually if it is a good idea to use that usb port (intended for Computer connection) to charge the unit but since the unit is charging also while connected to the computer so maybe it is ok =) Anyway, Yes I was able to use my GPS to navigate using the USB port (intended for Computer connection) to charge from the car power outlet. You can try to wait for atleast 30-60 sec for your GPS to recognize that the source is not a computer but rather a wall/car power outlet, your GPS should reboot and you can then use it to navigate. Maybe less than a minute of waiting

Yes, this cable does charge the Garmin gps battery while connected to your computer. Your computer must be turned on to charge the Garmin though. You should also make sure that you power off your Garmin when this is being done.

to be honest i don,t know i have a 202 and it went into p.c. mode in that mode it will charge the battery but you will not be able to use g.p.s. while in p.c. mode better to get a genuine Garmin charger amazon does sell them they are a bit more expensive but they work

Some work some don't...They ALL FIT...Think you mean will it power and charge....From my experience and I am The Garmin Master-(over 100 sold).....The cheaper ones WILL NOT WORK and the ones you find on Amazon starting at about 9-10 dollars do....No guarantee though.. You take a chance...Hope that helps..GMR

It works great with the Garmin that I have. Mine is a few years old, but I'm assuming they haven't changed there cord port shape so it should work for yours too

Yes it should do what you want. It charges our GPS and works as well as the original.

Yes it will work. I think all nuvi models use the same chargers and cables.
