Does this charger work with a Garmin 255W GPS?

Hi Pam, I believe so. I have a nuvi 1450 and it is very identical to the 255W. From the online photos I saw both GPSs appear to have the same socket. Hope that helps :)

Yes Pam, that is the same one I have. I used a phone charger that had the same plug for a while when my old one broke. It worked but often it went into a mode that looked like it was updating software. the screen stayed on that for a couple of minutes and said none available and then turned on like normal. Anyone thinking about using a charger that just fits, I would not recommend it. That was the only problem I had, but who knows if it didn't damage something or mess with the maps somewhere I have not been since, like maybe emergency rooms...This charger works just like the one that came with my GPS.

If your Garmin has a mini (not micro) USB connection port, it should be fine.

It should be. I use it for my Nuvi 2555lmt. The purpose of the reader is to give more options when using on your computer. It also plugs directly into the what looks like the thumb drive.

Rod, Yes that is the vehicle charger for the Garminn S!. It works well and faster than house current.

Yes. I bought a standard adapter and plugged the Garmin charger into it and it worked fine.

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...

I would not know for sure however it did not work on the Garmin GPS or the Magellan GPS. The Magellan did come with a home wall charger, and it works on the two GPS. ???? Something in the wireing in the plug I guess. I did buy wall plug that converts 110 volts to 12 volts from Walmart then plug the car charger into it. Works perfect.

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!

I contacted Akron to see if the GN-097 was compatible with the Nuvi 255W- Here is the response: Bob, Thank you for contacting us with your inquiry. It just so happens that I own a Garmin Nuvi 255W myself, and I can personally confirm that it works with that mount. However, you have to be sure that you have the ball joint adapter that came with the unit, or purchase one separately. The adapter you would need, if you don't already have one, is the GN-BKT200. You can easily find it on Amazon as well! I hope that helps! Regards, Bryan D.

I guess it would - mine is a Nuvi 255w, and I would guess there's not a huge difference between that and the 265w. The card is supposed to work in all Nuvi's.

I ordered this a while back, but looking at the price and brand, it is NOT a garmin charger. I have learned since then that it is worth buying Garmin brand chargers due to power/compatibility issues. I do not work for Garmin, just have been burned more than once (shame on me) by aftermarket chargers. Some were inexpensive, at least one not so much.

I'm not sure if it will work with your GPS. If your old charger is charging the GPS, then it's a GPS issue.

Sorry, can't help you. It works on my Forerunner 210 GPS Enabled Sports watch, fairly well (you have to be very careful positioning the 4 charging terminals on the watch with the 4 pins on the charger)

If your GPS has the 12-Volt Cigarette Lighter that usually comes with all Garmin, then it will work perfectly.This Power Adapter works with any Garmin, new or old (discontinued).
