Rating  - A must have for an aftermarket Nuvi cradle mount
If you own a Nuvi 6xx series GPS (Probably other higher end Nuvi GPS models also.), this charger is a must have if you are using it in conjunction with an aftermarket cradle such as the RAM-Mount brand. (Generally used for motorcycles) You must use the mini-USB port on the side of the Nuvi because the aftermarket cradles DO NOT HAVE a backside charge port built in like the original cradle. I had no luck using a regular mini-USB cord plugged into a "cigarette lighter to USB adapter" either. If you try this, most likely, the Nuvi will be tricked into thinking it's connected to a computer, which in turn makes the Nuvi display the PC-link splash screen endlessly until you unplug the standard USB cord from the Nuvi. In other words, if you want to power the Nuvi via the mini-USB port, you need to use this specific charger.
Overall, I think this charger is nicely made. The cord is pretty thick, and the main charger body feels solid. The charger tip on the cigarette socket side uses a metal ring instead of a plastic ring that many other cheap chargers have. And the mini-USB tip housing also feels very solid and well made to me.
As a side note, I noticed that almost all the reviews rated at 2 or 1 stars, the reviewer(s) complained that either it's not compatible with the Nuvi 6xx, or not as advertised. (Meaning it won't fit the original cradle that comes with the higher end Nuvi's.) Well, that is their own fault for not looking closely at the description. Even the tip of this charger looks different than what came shipped with their Nuvi. So don't rate a good product poorly due to your own ignorance. That's all I'm saying.
Rating  - exactly what I need
We lost our car charger for our Garmin nuvi 350. This cable does the job like before. I just wish that it was less costly than that (>$20).
Rating  - Don't get this unless you have two cars
Each Garmin Nuvi comes with its own DC cord. So unless you have 2 cars that you will be using the GPS in, don't buy this extra one.

Rating - Great item -- same as the original adapter
I needed a spare 12V adapter for my Nuvi. I found this one at a reasonable price, and it was delivered promptly. It is made by Garmin, and is an exact replacement for the original. Just what I wanted!
