Garmin Remote Speaker for GPSMap 276c Review

Garmin Remote Speaker for GPSMap 276c
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
THe connection to the Garmin 276C via this cable is at a 90 degree angle. It is not made well. This results in breakage of the wires at this point. The rest of the cable is made well and voice clarity is pretty good. I have given up with the "pretty" "new" look. The cable is held together with electrical tape, gum, and duct tape. I thought it was me at first so I replaced them. I don't what the designers were thinking. The unit is designed to be used both on the boat and in the car. It's moved around alot. Even with the greatest care breakage is inevitable. Despite the problems with the cable, I like the GPS very much. Unfortunately at a cost of $70.00 in stores (I've gone through 3 cables in a year), I will have to look to other products in future.

Garmin Vehicle power cable Review

This vehicle power cord is for the Oregon and Colorado models. I got it for my Oregon 400T. It is fine except for the 90 degree angle of the plugin to the GPS. When plugged in to the GPS the cord faces forward toward you, so the cord is in front (at the bottom) of the GPS when you are using it. Why didn't Garmin make a straight connector so the cord points down, or a 90 degree plug that positions the cord to the rear of the GPS? Do they know something I don't? Maybe a car mount device requires it this way, or, as with the carry case they supply (read my review), the power cord was designed for the Colorado model and just applied to the Oregon model. The power cord is over 5 feet long.

Garmin Vehicle Power Cable Review

No matter how much I want continuous power to my Garmin I just can't pay that much for a little power cable that costs probably $1 to make. It's the principle of it.
Instead I did some research and discovered a nifty little item called a USB car adapter for as low as two dollars! - then I can just use the USB cord that came with the unit! Only the wires needed for supplying power are used and not those for the data (they are separate wires in the cord). For more info do a search on Wikipedia for USB, and Goggle and right here at Amazon for USB car chargers.
I found a great dual charging unit elsewhere for $15 including shipping. With the dual unit I can charge my eTrex Vista HCx and phone or PDA, both at the same time. Just make sure the power output is 4.75 to 5.25V, that's the USB power specification. All but one of the units I found where in the proper power range though one was 7.2V, which is too high.
BTW, the little connector at the eTrex is also a USB connecter, just a different type (shape) then you may be used to. They call it a `mini USB,' while the larger one on the other end (of the cord that came with the unit) is a `USB type A', the same you typically see for computers and flash cards. It doesn't matter though, they are just differently shaped connectors that do exactly the same thing.
Don't pay Garmin's outrageous prices. Get a USB car adapter and power your eTrex through the USB cord supplied with your unit. It's the same as when you plug your unit into your computer's USB port and the computer supplies the unit with 5V power. Enjoy

The Garmin Nuvi AC charger comes with adapters for various voltages. It works as you would expect. I think it should have been included with the unit as standard.

Garmin Vehicle DC Power Adapter for eTrex and Geko (010-10203-00) Review

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.

Conserve the battery life of your GPS with Garmin's Cigarette Lighter Adapter for all eTrex models. It is a convenient way to use your GPS without having to worry about the amount of time you use it. It's easy to use as well. Just plug the Garmin Cigarette Lighter Adapter into any standard cigarette lighter receptacle, and you and your GPS are ready to go.
