I'm confused. It's my understanding that with the Garmin 2797LMT the power cord is inserted in the mount. How can I use this mount with it?

The power cord is actually plugged into the removable part of the "Ball" mount, original to the LMT,that the fixed mount "pops" into. Then plug the n-Groove into CD and power cord from original LMT into any convenient power source in your vehicle.

The back side of your Garmin power cord mount has a ball socket. This CD mount has a ball on it that pops into that socket.

You can use the 2797LMT with this mount , but there is no place to insert a power cord in the mount.....it is just what it is...just a mount to hold your GPS device. Hope that helps?

Judy, I recently bought the Garmin, love it. But I did need to purchase the bean bag mount as the one I did have was not heavy duty enough to support this Garmin, since it was bigger than my old one.

This is the mount for the Montana GPS from Garmin. The red and the black wires can be attached to the positive and neg terminals of the battery on your motorcycle. The other socket is to plug in a set of headphones if you want sound from the gps. To function fully as a mount it also requires a plate with a ball (RAM B 347U) an arm (RAM B 201U-A) and a mount base (RAM B 231-U). If you need more info check out gpscity.com

The friction mount comes with the standard Garmin ball connector. If you have the adapter that connects to this (like the suction mount that came with the GPS) you just use it for the friction mount. Otherwise you will have to purchase an adapter.

The included charging cord plugs easily into the back of the GPS to the right of where the GPS attaches to the mount. I have a center console box where the charger plugs into the charger unit (same place I plug in my cell phone for charging).

RE760 and other models; Wrong... the usb charges the Garmin... when connected to the computer or an AC adapter. It's just Garmin didn't intend the USB port to charge AND operate the Garmin at the same time. Hooked to computer; charges and transfer files Hooked to AC/usb adapter charge only. (*tho there are ways around this is if you search the web) As to the AC/usb adapter... USB is a standard 5v out (500ma at computer usb). So almost any AC/usb adapter will charge the Garmin and shouldn't hurt it. So go and use your Razr/Blackberry/whatever usb/ac charger.

What model did the charger come from? I am no expert on Garmin compatibility but it might be worth your while to go over to the Garmin website and ask the question there.

I carry my Garmin Nuvi 54LM, both it's cables, and a Garmin 010-10723-08 AC/DC Power Adapter in the Carry All. My Garmin friction mount is the "sandbag" style and might be very tight is i try to fit it in as well. There ia another thinner type Garmin friction mount which might fit ot not. The Garmin Carry All Case does what I wanted it to do.

Well after a couple weeks of going back and forth, I finally decided to buy the 765t. The deal breaker was the fact that the 1390t DOES NOT have a powered mount, so you need to plug the power cable in every time you mount it. I confirmed this with Garmin.

Rocky, yes, if your Garmin will not operate while plugged into the cars 12V port, then something is really haywire! No wonder you are frustrated. Hope everything works out well for you.

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.

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.

yes...you might want to get a different stand device to hold your Garmin, window suction is not great, but it is included. You also might want a home charger to supplement your lighter charger. The lighter charger is included and might be all you need.

If your Garmin has a 3.5 to 5 inch screen the charger city should work. My Garmin is the 2557 LMT with 5 inch screen. I am very pleased with the charger city holder and the clip rotates if u want to use it for a cell phone also

It work the same as with any mount. The cord plug into the back of the unit and the other end plugs into the cigarette lighter or power outlet!

It doesn't fit a existing Garmin mount that I know of. It is meant to fit Ram brand parts. Ex; Ram ball end with clamping standoff and another ball end mount. Hope this helps.

I have used it to recharge/power my Droid Razr and Toshiba tablet (at different times). It has USB (out) and mini/micro USB slots (in) which should work with your Garmin. It also holds its power well. I haven't been backpacking for over a week and the unit is still showing 80% charged.
