USB Cord to Charge? Can you use the USB cord to charge the GPS?

I own 2 4700 GPS's and can confirm the USB will indeed charge the units, albeit slowly. If left plugged in for a few hours the units achieve a full charge from my UBS port on the home desktop.

You can use any USB cable in the USB OUTPUT port i- such as the USB cable that comes with the device you wish to charge. Does this help?

It is one of the old usb charging cables that were standard with many older cell phones and GPS's. You can pick one up at Walmart or Best Buy. Just take the speaker with you and they can set you up. I thought a cord came with mine though.

this is QUITE a useful tool and I know with the correct adapters, will charge most technologies... I've even used it to charge GPS navigation systems from different vendors (Garmin & Magellan)! good luck!

This comes with a mini and a micro usb that connects to a wall outlet with a standard usb. If you gave a mini or a micro slot on your Garmin, I should work.

Yes. The usb cord serves as the charger. The unit doesn't charge when not plugged in to computer.

I don't have either that Garmin or charger. When I bought my Nuvi I received a charger for my car, another for the computer and one for 110v. I would suggest u go online to garmin.com (mygarmin if u registered ur product) and ask. Better to phone if you can, answering emails is not a Garmin strong point.

I agree with David, that it should charge it, but every unit is different. The GPS output may be greater than the supplied charging input, so it may not charge as fast, but will charge, just like if you are using GPS on your phone and charging it at the same time.

Came with a wall charger. I use my GPS a lot, so the charge in my phone doesn't last as long. But it lasts enough for you not to worry about charging before it dying.

Shouldn't be a problem with a USB extension cord if it's just "straight through" USB. I never tried an external GPS.

You can use both. The item only comes with a USB cord but, if you have one of the wall chargers that accept usb you can charge it that way. Like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Wireless-Travel-Charger-Adapter/dp/B00CTTD10Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1385925090&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+wall+charger

I don't quite know what you are asking about the USB cable, but I am using my USB cable that came with the device to plug the unit into my computer to receive updates from TomTom. I have also used the USB cable in my vehicle as a power cord when I couldn't find the cable that is usually used to power the unit in the vehicle.

You can plug the the cord provided into a USB plug and then charge from there. I am also able to plug it into my laptop to charge it :)

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.

Mine came with a car charger and with a computer cable. You can buy the adapter for the cable at Wal-Mart and plug it into the wall for charging. So, you can charge the GPS in the car, on the computer or the wall.
