Car Charger

Have a Nuvi 760. Taking it to the US, so will need a charger, preferably in-car. Can anyone recommend a charger? The Garmin £19 version seems steep.

Have in-car usb style charger for camera, was wondering if that would work.

If your unit has a USB socket then anyone standard Cigar lighter to USB adaptor should work. Get then in pound shops :)

When I plug the USB in, the unit thinks it's plugged into a PC and goes into update mode. No charging takes place.

nice sugestion from ross.bowden3

Well.. seeing the post of ross.bowden3 I did stay really interested in the idea, does that really approve? I do not have problems with the car charger, but if I have other option is always good to try... because I already saw many critics about the car charger that give me the idea that we can have better.

Best Regards

Multiple Options

You have multiple options:

1. Get a wall 12 V converter / car-charger-to-wall-charger-adapter ). Most are available for lesst than 5 bucks

2. Get the 110-220 transformer adapter

3. Any cell phone usb charger will work. But make sure that the amperes are >= the requirement by Garmin eg. 1000mA will not charge a 1500mA unit

My previous gps was a streetpilot C320 before I upgraded to a 1350.
The C320 had a AC charger as standard whereas I will have to purchase one for the 1350.

Do you know if the charger from the C320 is ok with the 1350?

Output on the C320 charger reads 5V 1.0A.
