Will this charge a GPS Navigation device or just power it?

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.

I don't have a gps unit, but it charges an iPad via the USB port and simultaneously charges my iphone in a charging cradle that's connected to the lighter adapter port. I would think it would charge your gps just fine. Hope this helps...

I can give you no definitive answer, however , if it will plug into the GPS unit , it should be Ok!I use a Garmin nuvi 1350. The charger works fine!

I wouln't chance it. This charger is a piece of junk. You can't charge the GPS while using it at the same time, and other people have said it does not supply a sufficient voltage to charge the GPS. Amazon shouldn't be selling this product.

The Power Rating is 5 Watts Continuous which is the problem. The tip doesn't really matter at this point. The output voltage is likely to change often which changes the output current; hence 5W Continuous Max Output. Your GPS device most likely will charge with a simple 5V 1A USB car adapter. The 5V 2A charger included with your GPS module was a design that allowed for a faster battery charge. I'd look for a replacement usb charger online for the Garmin 3597 and have a look at the output specs of those chargers. My gut felling is a 5V 1A usb charger will work and it's likely you already have a generic usb car adapter and micro-usb cable. The Power Rating is 5 Watts Continuous which is the problem.

I haven't received my Dual GPS yet, but I assume that the battery works the same as my Griffin PB-RES1 battery operated iPod battery charger (not sold by Amazon) -- it will both power the iPod and charge the battery. If your iPod works while it is plugged into a charger, this GPS/battery will power your iPod.

There are many inexpensive chargers for USB devices available. All you need is the charging cable which should have come with the GPS. My GPS came with the charger. Generally the chargers are 5 volts with different current ratings. I would suggest one with at least a 1 amp output capacity.

Nancy, I don't think that would work because the gps does not have input jacks. I hope this helps

It will work but I will say this though you will not be able to hook up the gps due to the external GPS system is discontinued

I would make sure your GPS is not running all the time and you choose power save mode in your setting.

as far as i know i beleave it will work if the plug in tip goes in and the power voltage is the same and the watts for the usb and the gps system is the same and i bought this item for my gps garmin 265w and it works fine with it i dont see a problem at all but guess what--want the truth i would go on ebay and buy a a/c car power adaptor and you can get the adaptor for around say 6.00 to 8.00 dollars and free shipping and amazon might have them but check and see ok hope this helps out take care and god bless.......

This is a charger. so if your GPS is dead and your near a window I guess you could say its in the loop. However it has nothing to do with actually programing the GPS.

Yes, this cable does charge the Garmin gps battery while connected to your computer. Your computer must be turned on to charge the Garmin though. You should also make sure that you power off your Garmin when this is being done.

If your GPS has the 12-Volt Cigarette Lighter that usually comes with all Garmin, then it will work perfectly.This Power Adapter works with any Garmin, new or old (discontinued).

yes, you can charge your GPS using this wonderful universal ac to dc car cigarette charger.

I can't say... I no longer have the packaging with exact specifications. However I will say this powers my gps with no problems. I had another charger (with a split port) and that did not charge my gps, so that should help you gage a general power level.

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.

Only compatible for charging- you want the Garmin GTM 25,26,35 or 36 to charge and receive traffic
