I've never owned a GPS before. Is this a good one? Is it better to buy one with lifetime traffic updates included?

Asking if something is good will likely not get you much of a useful answer. What is good to you? What do you need it to do? How will you use it? How much money can you spend? How much money do you want to spend? All of these are things that are important for you to decide, before you buy anything, let alone a GPS. Only then, can you determine whether or not it's good (for you).

It's a discontinued model by Garmin. You get more bang for the buck when buying this model. I just updated it to the latest 2010 maps and operating system.

I had the model number of the burned out cable so I ordered another one. You should go online to Garmin, product support and look up the model that you have and check the part number of the cable that goes with it. I suppose you could order one and see if it works...if it doesn't, return it. I would think the power requirements for these Garmins are all the same...you could also call customer support and ask them. Good Luck.

Really don't know but the Garmin nuvi 3597 LMTHD is awesome -- the best one I have ever owned

It comes with a usb ant. You have to download Garmin express and plug in the ant when you need to sync. I had issues with the Garmin express downloading and installing, this was due to Windows not updating.

I would find out how many amps/watts your device draws and check against what the Garmin supplies. A G P S device doesn't require many watts/amps to operate.

I honestly don't recall, but I am using my USB cord that is simply a standard one. I use the same USB cord to charge my phone, MP3 Players etc. Nothing special. I even used a simple standard USB cord to charge this GPS and also update the maps. So , just in case yours does not come with one, you can find them virtually anywhere, ie, 7 Eleven, Walmart, Amazon, Kmart, Sears, eBay etc. Please let me know if you need more help. By the way. the GPS I got is GREAT for the price. Very surprised and the battery life and performance for the price. Enjoy.

No it is not. I would look upr the Garmin Quick Release Kit 310XT and buy that instead.

Hi, Thank you for the note. Did you rent a car in France? I am asking to find out if the charger that comes with the unit fits into the car's outlet. We took a Garmin to France about 3 years ago and our charger did not fit into the rental car's outlet for some reason. I have read at various websites that they are no different. Thanks

Your computer O/S will recognize that the USB cord has been plugged in, so very probable the driver is for the Garmin. Sorry can't be positive. I purchased this not as a data cable but to enable me to use a 12 v plug for power on a boat. The Garmin chartplotting GPS eats AA's.

I'm sorry but I really don't know the answer to your question. The garmins I have a quite old. One of mine I believe is an 860 and it's probably 8 years old, so I really can't answer your question accurately. My advice is go to Garmin.com and try to contact them by phone.If his is the cord for your unit, I want you to know that it is a high quality cord and I'm happy with my purchase. good luck

This comes with a mini and a micro usb that connects to a wall outlet with a standard usb. If you gave a mini or a micro slot on your Garmin, I should work.

Any idea what's actually in the box when you get this item? The technical info states that the box says 285wt, but 285w is what is printed on the actual product.

I don't know anything about the Garmin. This unit is at least water resistant. Sealed and rubber cover over the power button. It comes with everything you need to mount and hardwire it - you can detach the unit from the mount without disconnecting any wires - wiring goes to the mount point.

It has a standard UBS receptacle similar to a type 2 on a computer or laptop. I got it for charging a cell phone but I would think it should work for a GPS as well. I have tried it with my iPhone and it takes a lot of cranking to get the battery level to increase even a litttle so be aware of that. It does seem to charge but not as nearly as quick as I would have expected or desired. Hope that helps.

It comes with a standard outlet plug and a USB cord, so you can charge it in a wall socket or on your computer -- I find the connection much easier than it was with my Garmin.

I just received this on January 9, 2015. The unit I received DOES NOT plug into an outlet. It requires a cord which is not included. The one I received looks exactly like the photo accompanying this item. Don't know if I received the incorrect item or if they have changed the item. Unfortunately mine is going back.
