Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Garmin charger exceeded my expectations.. I purchased it because my Rand McNally truck GPS charger broke .. I wasn't sure it would work but it did...

This is the Garmin's replacement 12V power cord for the NUVI style GPS. It is just like the one that came with my GPS. Perfect fit and the price was right. Dont waste your time on cheap replacements that sometimes works.

During a move, I lost my Garmin power cord. Ordered this one from Best Buy. It was delivered quickly and works perfectly. Great price as well for namebrand.

It was delivered quickly, worked perfect. It was very important because I use it for work.

It does what it is suppose to do so I am happy with it

I thought I packed everything but when I got ready to use my Garmin I noticed I forgot the power adaptor. I googled it in hopes I could find an aftermarket item to get me through the week. When Best Buy came up as one of my results I called just to be sure. Turns out it was original equipment and they could have it in the store ready for pick up the very next day. Even though I was ready to spend just about any price when I was doing the google search, this one was priced right, exact equipment, and available within 24 hours. Thank you Best Buy..

I learned a good lesson years ago - do NOT cut corners on GPS and electronic replacement parts. When I could not find my OEM Garmin GPS Vehicle Charger for a long planned trip, I ordered an exact replacement from BestBuy, and had it in hand, just a few days later. It worked flawlessly, and saved frustration. It even had a right angled power plug-in, so the cord did not stick out and get in the way. Thank you Garmin and BestBuy. These comments are true and correct...

Had been looking at a replacement 12 volt car power adapter for a Garmin nuvi 205w GPS that had been given to me by friend who was replacing it with a newer model GPS. The electric conductors in the power cable had become frayed and apparently actually broken at the USB plug end so no power was getting into the GPS and the nuvi was unusable for her. The strain relief molded into the USB plug had actually broken from the constant the bending the cable undergoes when the GPS is being transferred from car to car in a multi car family or into a purse or briefcase and its breakage had facilitated the conductor breakage. The model number of the original 12volt adapter, the one that came with the nuvi 205w, was model 00239-24. Best Buy has for a long time stocked Garmin branded accessories so that was the first place I headed. But, when I priced the replacement adapter it was around twenty five dollars or more – not worth it for me for this older nuvi 205w GPS with its outdated maps. Recently one of the sale e-mails I get from Best Buy featured a Garmin 12 volt vehicle power cable adapter at a sale price that was ten dollars less. I called Garmin customer service and they confirmed the Best Buy unit on sale would work for my nuvi 205w so I bought it it. It works fine. Here are some of the differences between it and the older one it replaces: Part number of the new unit is 00239-70. The new unit is slightly shorter, by ¼”, than the original., the pilot light/power up indicator on the new one is a small blue light on the top of the plug-in adapter while on the older model it was a light with a lens that wrapped around from the top to the back end of the plug-in and was thus visible from more angles.. Output specs are stated as a range on the new unit The fuse will require a wide blade screwdriver or a smallish needle-nose plier used as a 2-prong wrench to replace. A molded in lock on/lock off and an arrow in the tip of the device help with replacement though it would have been helpful if the box containing the new adapter contained a printed instruction sheet for further directions. On the older unit the fuse was replaceable by unscrewing a finger-turnable retention ring. One improvement on the new model – the spring for the fuse, way down at the bottom of the fuse channel, seems to have been given some sort of retention so it does not shoot out unexpectedly and get lost somewhere in the room when the fuse is removed. The strain relief on the back end of the adapter has been redesigned – for the better it seems – it is not as rigid as the one on the older unit. The strain relief at the USB plug end however is only slightly redesigned from the prior failure-prone design and may eventually facilitate power cable breakage when the plastic hardens with age, as did the original. But, to repeat the new unit. P/N 00239-70, works fine – the nuvi 205w is back in operation and I’ve used the vehicle power cable to power it on several trips into the city and back.

Worked perfectly. Ready to use my GPS again. Back on the road.

The charger works on a wide range of Garmin devices and is long enough to place the device anywhere necessary for optimal viewing

This is a simple charger. I plugged my GPS into it and it worked. Charges as I drive and keeps my GPS working so I don't get lost. Nothing fancy. Does a good job.

Garmin 12v power supply, worked as it was designed.

The product works great iI have had no problems. The cord is long enough so that it easily reaches the GPS even while I am using it. The only negative would be the price,I'm sure I could have found it online from amazon or ebay for cheaper than $20.

Excellent product. I can use my GPS without the need of buying a new one because of original charger died after 2 years. Price was great.

Needed to have a new charger for my gps when I lost the original. This was exactly what I needed. Reasonable price, great quality and length.

I was not able to find this Garmin vehicle charger in the on line catalog so I took my old one to my local store and a store associate looked was able to find on line and ordered it for me. It arrived to my house in 5 business days. And, it works great.

I noticed a small nick in the cable for my navigation unit. I think the cat chewed it a bit. It's portable so it doesn't get used a lot anymore. When I went to use it, it kept powering off. Although the cord wasn't broken all the way, I suspected it was damaged. Best Buy showed one in stock. I plugged it in and power restored!

This charger fits just like the original. I love it. Everything I was looking for and a great price.

Got this for our Garmin and it works great. Had no problems with it and glad I purchased it.

Good product with a reasonable price. I like how identical it is to the charger that came with the GPS.
