Can this be plugged directly into my garmin? I'm trying to take the mount out of the equation. I have a nuvi 3490.

I have mine plugged into the base, as the pins in my unit are broken, so I'm not sure if you can plug it directly into the unit. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes it plugs directly into the GPS unit, it takes the place of the 12 volt unit that comes standard. It's been very useful in my travels. Be safe, God bless

yes, it should work just like the suction mount that came with Garmin. I guess you would call it a ball and socket connection. The friction mount is like a bean bag.

Bought this for a friend. But what you have to consider is the one end of the adapter. There is a standard USB end that could plug into any laptop/ computer or wall adapter. I don't really think the voltages and amps vary that much. Could Garmin void a warranty for not using the exact recommended charger -- probably. However, the other end of the USB cable that plugs into the actual unit is what you need to be careful of. I think it's just a mini-USB, but you should verify. My friend wanted it for both charging and downloading new map updates. She knew it would work and that's why she wanted it. Hope this helps a little. Bought this for a friend.

Yes, as long as you still have the clip that attaches to the GPS unit. All of the Garmin nuvi models use a ball in socket. Each model comes with a clip that adapts to the ball on the windshield (suction cup) mount. When you buy an aftermarket mount for a Garmin, it will have the ball that fits into the socket on your clip.

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 think the ball mount works with any Garmin Nuvi bracket that has a ball socket. It works on my Nuvi 1390.

Sorry, I have no idea. My Garmin is a 255W, so I can't help you. Again, sorry.

As long as the plug fits into your Garmin, it should work. It worked for my Nuvi 30.

I cannot answer for your Garmin. It works great as a Cisco console cable, data cable for my Cannon camera, and power cable form my Li battery

All Garmin units come with a power cable that plugs into your cigarette lighter, which will charge the Nuvi while you drive. What Garmin doesn't provide for this particular unit is a USB cable. You will need this cable to register and download any firmware updates (free) or map updates (not free). One can also charge the Nuvi via this cable through your computer, if you wish. Any standard USB cable (std A connector on one end, mini B on the other) that comes with most digital cameras or computer peripherals will work. If you don't have one, you will need to purchase it. I often drive without the cable plugged into the cigarette lighter port (on short trips), just because I don't like the cable hanging down. On any trips over several hours, I keep it plugged in. Garmin has upgraded the 2x0 series with some of the features found on the 2x5 series, but since there is still old stock out there, you may not receive an updated unit (chances are you will). Don't worry though, the 260 is a solid GPS even without some of the refinements.

Hi, It works well with my Garmin nuvi 3590LMT. Compare its dimensions to your Garmin's

according to the product description it is NOT compatible to the nuvi 755 i would suggest that you do what i did and get a genuine Garmin charger which Amazon does sell if you get the eforcity product it may charge the battery but will not allow you to use the GPS while it is charging

Yes. Instead of plugging the power source directly into the GPS, you plug it into the mount. The 3590 then is plugged into the mount. You use the push bar at the bottom to remove it. This way you don't have to plug and unplug the GPS each time. You only have to set it into the mount and click it into the top. The mount has a speaker in it also. The 3590, in addition to the connection with the mount, also has a micro-USB input so it can be plugged directly into a computer to update the maps, etc.

I have a Nuvi 2555lmt which it has a separate pocket where is slides into. I have all the cords in the other part. I think the mount is too wide to put in there. The case is hard so it doesn't stretch. Hope this helps!

Apologies, but I have no idea. You could check the garmin website - or - I thought there was a list of devices it worked with in the specifications. When I did a search, I specified the model of my unit. Perhaps looking at the space it fits into on the device would help.

I am unable to answer this question as I only have a Garmin 1490T. The best way to get an answer is to call Garmin support. They are very good about this, and are the ones who stirred me to Amazon for my purchase of this cable.
