Great Product (works on motorcycles too):
I ordered two of these, one for myself and the other for my father. I also installed both of them an our bikes and they work perfectly. As far as installation goes, I would recommend using a fuse tap (such as an add-a-circuit) from and auto parts store so that the converter box in the line doesn't drain the battery if you don't ride for a while. You may find, however that your fuse circuit is still hot because you may have relays on your fuse box, in that case, I would recommend installing a switch... more info
Gilsson GUSB5V Direct Wire Cable:
The mini USB connector is somewhat smaller than the cig. lighter connector USB standard with the garmin GPS. The L shape does not allow for direct connect through the access hole of some RAM mounts sold by Amazon for motorcycle hookup. This is a problem, I'm not quite show how I'm going to resolve.
Works Great!:
Have a Navigon 7200T, which does not have an official hard-wire option. After scouring the net for solutions, I came up with the Gilsson gusb5v-b. Amperage and connection matched - had a stero shop do the install - works great! No problems and the dashboard looks a lot cleaner than it did with a 12v coiled cord going to my power port. Shipping and delivery was favorable. Thankls a lot - service and product A+
Will not power my 760:
Maybe I'm missing something but this unit will not power my nuvi 760 or my daughters. I tried two to eliminate the issue of a bad GPS. The GPS unit just goes into mass storage mode when ever the power supply is connected to the USB port. If anyone knows what I need to do to get it to work on a nuvi 760 please drop me a line at dsprague at zoominternet dot net. I did enter the hidden menu by touching the battery icon for several second then plugged in the power supply but the gps still reverts back to mass... more info
