This is the ENTIRE Kit as it came with the Unit. that is the Suction cup, the Dash Adapter for the Suction Mount, the Cradle for the Nuvi and the Charger cable. What you got when you bought the unit is what you get here.. The unit SITS in this Mount, It is not a cheapo aftermarket that plugs into the miniusb port on side.

I bought this item for my wife's GPS. It worked perfectly. This plug does go into the cradle mount. It DOES NOT go into the GPS unit itself. Hope this info. helps.

With Nuvi 705 series, it has a powered cradle. This charger has a mini-USB connector and it will connect directly to the GPS not to the powered cradle.

As risskie has already stated you must have the plastic clip (or clasp) that easily snaps on the back of the GPS unit and has the socket that snaps onto the round end of the arm of the friction mount. The socket can be hard to snap onto the arm, especially the first few times you do it.

What you see in the picture is the Cradle only. It bolts to whatever mount you choose to purchase, but this part only holds the GPS unit. The picture is accurate! What I think you are looking for to connect this item to is at this link: RAM 1 Inch Ball Mount for Garmin Echo

No Richard, I dont believe it will fit. I went on a site and tried to build a mounting system with your GPS and no cradle came up for a fit. How new is the GPS?

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

R. Agrawal - I don't know actually if it is a good idea to use that usb port (intended for Computer connection) to charge the unit but since the unit is charging also while connected to the computer so maybe it is ok =) Anyway, Yes I was able to use my GPS to navigate using the USB port (intended for Computer connection) to charge from the car power outlet. You can try to wait for atleast 30-60 sec for your GPS to recognize that the source is not a computer but rather a wall/car power outlet, your GPS should reboot and you can then use it to navigate. Maybe less than a minute of waiting

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.

I have TomTom 1535M Go Live Mine fits great! ...I noticed they sell both Garmin and TomTom ... it has to do with insert inside that can be removed if you need more room. (it is a light plastic molded form like packaging..it comes right out if need be.) Try it and see ...doesn't fit return it.

This cradle works with the Garmin nuvi 710, 715, 750, 755T, 760, 765T, 770, 775T, 780 and 785T. If you are buying it from GPSCity, it is the original Garmin cradle, made by Garmin, packaged in a plastic bag. (this is how it ships from Garmin) http://www.garmin.com/us/support/#/{f0a89a90-030a-11dc-e9ab-000000000000}/Automotive/{1d55a940-0807-11de-76c5-000000000000}

Very much agree with you. The Garmin USB (port and cable) also cannot be used to charge the device, quite disappointing. Furthermore, Garmin advertised this item below "Personal Travel Assistant" category, including for cyclist. So if you are not using the device in the car, you can't charge it from a computer USB port, and you have to buy the desktop charger separately.

This was not the case with the garmin 3490. I had to connect the adapter to the cradle that came with the GPS to charge, so if you don't have the cradle this charger may not work for you.

This is the model that I have, and it does work, although it is somewhat unwieldy. What I did was cut a hole in the foam padding that comes with the case (There are 3 foam inserts, and I used all 3 of them) and mount the power plug into that hole. This actually works to make the GPS easy to remove and install in the holder. If you want, I can send you a picture of it mounted.

I plug in my iPhone 6 and my Garmin GPS. Works as advertised. Not sure about other brands. I like this product.

I have inserted the garmin gps but it is yet to start working. I am not sure whether it works or not and then comes the question of working with a specific model...:)

There are two (2) different USB mini style ends > Mini-A & Mini-B. I have had a close look at my 1300-GPS cable + the following website! I have had 3 Garmins and each one has used the "Mini-B" USB connector. Hope this helps!Check diagram at: "https://www.google.ca/search?q=mini+usb+cable&client;=safari&hl;=en-gb&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&source;=univ&sa;=X&ei;=fsciUqDsNIeHqQHTk4CoDA&ved;=0CDcQsAQ&biw;=1024&bih;=672&s;ei=C8giUpaWDcnHqQGixICIAw"
