Purchased this charger but the male end is round and the Garmin female port is not. What am i missing?

There is a adapter that plunge into the round end and the other end is the right shape. This came with the system. The adapter is about 5 inches long. Hope I helped

Hello, I have the charger described and it does not have a round connector which plugs into the Garmin nuvi 3597LM. The power supply Model Number is TC-28-050200 has a miniature USB connector which is used for the Garmin 3597LM. John C.

They have an excellent and responsive customer service department. I think it would only take a phone call and they would send you the correct product.

I believe the grey cable has two pins shorted together. This "tells" some phones that the phone is connected to a high current charger. Some phones will draw more current and charge quicker if they think they are connected to a high current charger. You want to consider both the charger and the device being charged.Different devices respond differently. I have a portable GPS which will not charge at all if it doesn't have the right cable.

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.

Your computer O/S will recognize that the USB cord has been plugged in, so very probable the driver is for the Garmin. Sorry can't be positive. I purchased this not as a data cable but to enable me to use a 12 v plug for power on a boat. The Garmin chartplotting GPS eats AA's.

Bring it into radio shack. They have chargers that allow you to put different size pin connectors on the end. They have like 20 different pin connectors or more and they will find the right one that fits.

Originally, we had our Garmin offset to the left to allow the cable to clear the base. I then purchased a left angle mini USB adapter on eBay, to allow the Garmin to be centered. The cable now goes up from the adapter, rather than down from the Garmin.

Some work some don't...They ALL FIT...Think you mean will it power and charge....From my experience and I am The Garmin Master-(over 100 sold).....The cheaper ones WILL NOT WORK and the ones you find on Amazon starting at about 9-10 dollars do....No guarantee though.. You take a chance...Hope that helps..GMR

The end that plugs into the device is rounded on both sides. No square port but it does fit and work fine

the majority of Garmin's use mini usb chargers like this one - this is a larger, trapezoid looking connection ... different than what you'd find on say a cell phone or bluetooth headset - which is smaller and flatter. This will not provide traffic updates. For that, you need a GTM numbered product.

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 believe all new model Garmin's have a standard charging plug. As a result, I would think it should work, but as others have said you should contact Garmin directly to confirm.

I just ordered an AC charger for a Garmin GPS without any other specifications. Since it woks well with my Garmin, I'm sure it will work with yours. If you want to make sure, go to the Garmin website and ask the company.

The charger outputs two ranges of voltages simultaneously. As long as your Garmin can charge with 2.1 volts or 1volt it should work. Check the charger that you use with your Garmin now and see how many volts it outputs. That would be the best way to tell.

It works great with the Garmin that I have. Mine is a few years old, but I'm assuming they haven't changed there cord port shape so it should work for yours too

I'm not sure why, but this is normal procedure for several Garmin models (it was the same for my 260, that is, when I plugged it into the computer to charge -- I don't have an AC adapter). On the other-hand, I can use my 765t during charging.
