Will this charge my GPS while I'm driving and using the GPS for instructions or will it not work for directions while charging?

Works great, just like original. I even used it to recharge my iPhone, well, at least the USB port.

Yes it should do what you want. It charges our GPS and works as well as the original.

This unit works just like the original equipment. It will charge the GPS unit as you go and use the unit. I can say this for sure about Tom Tom.

Yes it does charge while you are driving and using the gps for instructions.

This charger powers my Tom Tom GPS (5 inch screen) while the unit is in use without a problem.

It's worked fine for me. It does charge as running. No problems. I also use it with other USB items.

I'm not an expert in GPS systems but my experence has been very good. I've used the system in three different states with perfect results.

No the radio does not charge the battery. You can use the USB cable and attache to a computer, or an MP3 charger, etc. I use the charger that came with my Garmin GPS, in the house or in the car. As long as the cables attache correctly U R OK .

If you are using the GPS when driving, then you are likely plugging it into the auxiliary thingy in the car. You can also plug it in to your computer, as others mentioned. If you don't use the GPS for a while, you may wind up with a low battery and it will take a few minutes to charge. Meanwhile the screen will not be fully lit - your GPS is working fine, and it will brighten up as it acquires its charge.

Play's the music that is on your phone and yes you can talk thru it and it will speak the GPS. It works just as your speaker on your phone when connected via Bluetooth. But I am not happy with the battery life. It seems like it has to be charged a lot so you have wire from lighter to unit a real lot

Yes, it charges the Razr while it's docked and the phone somehow detects it's in the dock and can automatically switch to "vehicle navigation" mode ... this makes the phone more like a typical "sat nav" or GPS navigation unit. I use it with Google "Navigate" mode and it does all the usual spoken turn-by-turn, ETA, etc. Very handy setup since my phone already has the given destination in an email or in Google Cards. There's many other useful features in there, I don't use half of them, but the email and voicemail is great. The Razr could have a bigger display, but it's quite easy (bright) to see.

yes it does, that is what I use it for. It is also a speakerphone and will broadcast Waze directions as well. The only issue I have with it is that when I power it off, I have to unplug it, power it back on, and then plug it in again for power to resume, but for the price I don't think you can go wrong.

I have not had a chance to use the charger while riding with the GPS yet so cannot comment on the charger. In order to answer this we need more information. Are you calling the charger the GPS unit? Is the iphone 5s plugged into the same location as the gps for power? If both of these are trueand the iphone has no problems than it looks like the GPS or its charger are a problem. Is everything plugged into the unit properly? When it was wired in is it a good ground location?

Yes - and as an update this is still working great for me. Keep in mind though - the traffic updates are through your power cable supplied by nuvi. Its the cable itself that has the traffic receiver in it. So this will charge it and will position it but if you want traffic updates you have to use the original cable connected to a power source.

The BE GPS device comes with a special cable that let you charge the iPad while using the BE GPS, in house and car. Don't use an iPhone charger, use only an iPad charger!

Yes, it will work as a charger. My test of this capability was to recharge my GPS. It worked.

No this unit does not serve as GPS for directions (like you would have on a phone or a stand alone GPS). The GPS built within this unit allows for tracking where your vehicle is at in real time relative to fixed red light cameras , speed traps and also displays the current true speed of the vehicle.

DA charger comes with the Garmin - one to plug into the car to make it work while driving plus one that attaches to the computer (download the lifetime maps) and I suppose to recharge the GPS if needed, but it charges while using it.

I use the charger to connect my Garmin nuvi 255W to download update from Garmin Website. I have not used it to charge the 255W.

I think you have to charge each time you use for golf. But I have never thought that I had a problem with it holding a charge. I also have some other friends who use the Garmin and they do the same thing. Charge it before each time you use it for a golf game and it works great.

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
