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.

The unit does not come with a wall charger, but you can charge it using the USB cable plugged into any computer or use a charger such as mini USB cell phone or MP3 player charger.

Patricia, No, the unit does not come with a wall charger, (just the car charger) which you will use to get traffic [used as a receiver for the traffic signals that comes thru in big cities], however, you can easily pick one up online for few dollars for home charging, I use the charger of my old Nuvi 1300 that had a wall charger....so it fits the adapter perfectly....The unit also comes with a USB cord that is used for charging from a home computer Along the normal use of Map updates, and photo uploads etc......so in a sense, you may not need a wall charger. The USB adapter will work as a home charger here is a direct link to take you to find some varied styles of this model charges

Yes it has gps but some of the functions require wifi such as directions, but this helped out drastically in street navagation in Europe. It comes with a European charger though

No. It actually comes in the refurb boxes. When they say its "new" I'm not quite sure if its brand new. It does come with a wall charger.

In the box there was no wall charger. Just the USB connector that let charge the device. I never tried to connect it to a wall charger.

Hey Jeff,Yes, mine came with a USB wall charger. Which is nice because I have mine mounted on my helmet. I guess the differences have to do with compatibly issues.

Yes, the original Garmin GPS does come with it's own charger, however in some cases, chargers give out. These are being sold as replacements.

Yes a wall outlet charger comes with this phone. It is not described in the manual. However, the phone plug appears to be micro USB. No information is given on the charger about its voltage output.

I honestly don't recall, but I am using my USB cord that is simply a standard one. I use the same USB cord to charge my phone, MP3 Players etc. Nothing special. I even used a simple standard USB cord to charge this GPS and also update the maps. So , just in case yours does not come with one, you can find them virtually anywhere, ie, 7 Eleven, Walmart, Amazon, Kmart, Sears, eBay etc. Please let me know if you need more help. By the way. the GPS I got is GREAT for the price. Very surprised and the battery life and performance for the price. Enjoy.

You can't use the wall charger, you need a after market charger. I'm still new to this so I apologize if this doesn't help.

This item does come with the wall charger, however not a car charger. You can buy one, just not sure what the model is http://www.just5mobility.com/accessories.php. Hope this helps.

The Garmin Nuvi GPSs have a built in protection circuit to prevent overcharging. The OEM charger chip I believe identifies that it is a charger. Non Garmin power cables sometimes allow the GPS to think that it is connected to a PC or other device and prevent the battery from charging.

The wall charger is included. If it's used and doesn't come with the charger, any micro USB charger will work. Takes the same charger as almost all smart phones.

No Sir it does NOT incl. a wall charger. The way it goes is that you should be able to plug it into a PC for that. I think they want to charge you another $24 for that. However using an old 'BlackBerry' USB charger works fine if you have one. Also BE AWARE that in 'stobe' mode the headlight will knock out any WIRELESS computer you have. Its only temporary and after you take it out of stobe mode (constant) the computer will work fine! Just be aware of this, otherwise I LOVE the tail and headlight. They are rugged, seem to last forever and are a great addition to my bike!
