Does the power cord also charge the GPS battery or do you have to buy a charger?

Yes. It charges the unit. No separate cable needed unless you want to charge inside the house.

The vehicle power cord does charge the battery. You can also charge the unit when you plug it into your computer via the USB connector, which can also allow you to download and update your map library. While connected to your computer, the unit will charge.

Yes, the power cord that plugs into the accessory socket (cigarette lighter) of the vehicle charges the GPS battery. Further, if power to the socket is turned off when you turn off the ignition, the GPS unit will automatically shut down after 15 seconds, and then will power up again when you turn the ignition switch back on.

It does come with a power cord and battery. Also included is a battery charging module. You slide the battery into the module then plug it into the wall to charge the battery. Hope this helps.

Yes, this GPS unit comes with a power cable that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter plug. This special cable also has a built-in antenna which allows the unit to receive the traffic information.

It comes with a USB cable that you can use to attach it to your computer. That will charge the battery. I ended up buying an accessory kit for it, which included an outlet charger.

There is a power cord that comes with it. You mount it directly to your battery using the eyelets at the end of the cord.

There are many inexpensive chargers for USB devices available. All you need is the charging cable which should have come with the GPS. My GPS came with the charger. Generally the chargers are 5 volts with different current ratings. I would suggest one with at least a 1 amp output capacity.

Thanks, I had already ordered this gps, and didnt see what it had with it.. I wanted to know if it had a vehicle power cable or just a USB cord or something... I'm glad it has the vehicle power cable!

Hmm, not really sure what kind of charging port the GPS uses, but it is possible if it is chargeable with USB port. Rugged Rukus has usb port that allows charging

I don't have a gps unit, but it charges an iPad via the USB port and simultaneously charges my iphone in a charging cradle that's connected to the lighter adapter port. I would think it would charge your gps just fine. Hope this helps...

It comes with a cord to charge the battery. To charge your phone you use the same cable you plug your phone into the computer

I honestly do not know for certain as do not have a GPS. There is a USB port on the head of the plug which can power a USB device. We have charged an additional smart phone via the USB port. I would believe that if your GPS is capable of being powered from the USB cable that you mentioned in your question, then yes it would power it through this source. You may want to reference your GPS manual for further information.

Yes, the car charging adapter allows you to charge the gps while using the gps to navigate. I hope this answer your question.

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.

My review was on two separate purchase items. The GPS unit is one of the two items. The backup camera is a separate item and is purchased separately. The GPS unit includes a power cord that plugs into a 12 volt socket and a windshield mount that is used to attach the unit to any smooth surface. Also included is a UBS cable for connecting the unit to the web per instructions included in the included owners manuel.

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 came with a charger and a spare battery. I know that there is a GPS feature, but I've never used it. (I have the very similar AW100, and purchased this one as a gift to my niece, because I am so happy with it.)
