Can I use this cable for my Garmin Nuvi to charge in while in the car using the USB outlet instead of the cigarette lighter outlet?

I'd say yes. I used my charger in the USB outlet of the rental car I used and it worked just fine.

You can use it to charge your Nuvi, but it will not allow you to connect to your computer in order to allow for upgrades to the OS or map upgrades.

I don't know for sure, but I would think if its a USB charge cable it would. Most items only need the 1.0 amp to charge, iPads require more juice. I'm fairly sure that one of the ports would charge it, but I don't have a Garmin as I use my iPad for my GPS

Yes it will work. I think all nuvi models use the same chargers and cables.

R. Agrawal - I don't know actually if it is a good idea to use that usb port (intended for Computer connection) to charge the unit but since the unit is charging also while connected to the computer so maybe it is ok =) Anyway, Yes I was able to use my GPS to navigate using the USB port (intended for Computer connection) to charge from the car power outlet. You can try to wait for atleast 30-60 sec for your GPS to recognize that the source is not a computer but rather a wall/car power outlet, your GPS should reboot and you can then use it to navigate. Maybe less than a minute of waiting

The USB ports were able to charge my LG phone but not my GPS. I have to use the center 12v port with an adapter cable to power the GPS. The only downside is the combination of the USB adapter and adapter cable sit pretty far out from the cigarette lighter.

The Garmin Nuvi GPSs have a built in protection circuit to prevent overcharging. The OEM charger chip I believe identifies that it is a charger. Non Garmin power cables sometimes allow the GPS to think that it is connected to a PC or other device and prevent the battery from charging.

this cord only works as a battery charger even though it shows a hard drive the battery is charging but unfortunately you cannot used the g.p.s at the same time you will have to do what i did and get a genuine Garmin cord amazon sells them with the Garmin cord you will be able to use the g.p.s when you have it plugged in

Depends on what you mean by that. There is a cable to use in the car which plugs into your cigarette lighter both powers and charges the GPS. This cable also has a radio receiver for the traffic alert function built into it. It does not come with a separate charger you can use to charge the GPS in the house.

You get a windshield mount, an adhesive backed disk for your dash (I don't recommend using it) and the power cable that plugs into your cigarette lighter. As stated above, one needs a USB cable to register and download firmware and map updates. When connected to your computer, it will also charge the Nuvi, but it takes 3 or 4 times as long as it would connected in your car.

I have used mine to charge my Garmin car GPS when I was too lazy to dig the cable out for it. Handheld unit too. Charges the cheap cell phones as well. I have used many of these car units over the years and this is by far the best. Fastest for charging my iPad.

Yes, I ordered one of these (from what I can see its the same kind) and I use it on my Garmin in my car or computer in house. Lot better than the bulky connection I had that came with my NUVI. I am completely satisfied with it.

you can use the usb port, if your car provide it. another option is to use any kind of usb adapter into the cigarrete ligther of the car (i have one, belkin, with two usb ports). you must use the garmin original power cable. i think that is possible to buy an extra cable... I FOUND A ORIGINAL S3 POWER CABLE IN THE GARMIN SITE. IT COSTS U$24.99.

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 can give you no definitive answer, however , if it will plug into the GPS unit , it should be Ok! I use a Garmin nuvi 1350. The charger works fine!

No. There is a solution. I made some modifications to the output wiring by cutting the output wire short and adding a 15 amp Anderson Power Pole connector because it has much lower contact resistance. The connecting cables are 10 gauge Zip cord. The panel-to-charge-controller cable is 50 feet long (to be able to put/keep the panel in the sun) and has a less that 2% voltage drop at 2 amps, more than 16 volts into the charge controller. I made a cigarette lighter socket adapter using another A.P.P. connector. To get USB charging I use a dual port 12vdc input cigarette lighter USB charger. I also use the cig ltr adapter to power a 1 foot long white LED light bar at about 125 ma which has lasted all night (about 11 hours) on my small, light weight, 3 Amp Hour 12 vdc sealed lead acid battery. You can find the Goal Zero connectors at Radio Shack. With some 16 or 18 gauge wire you can make your cigarette lighter adapter, and/or put 3 white LEDs in series to make a nice night/emergency light. Not quite as efficient, but less expensive.

Yes - a genuine Garmin charger will work on this series, and not go into charging mode
