GPS if fairly steady. Charger cord is long enough and not sure if a shorter cord can be substituted.

The USB ports were able to charge my LG phone but not my GPS. I have to use the center 12v port with an adapter cable to power the GPS. The only downside is the combination of the USB adapter and adapter cable sit pretty far out from the cigarette lighter.

If Tom Tom is using standard micro usb it should work. This thing charges my phone much faster than any other cords do. If you have a Smart Phone try using Google Maps for directions. I have stopped using my Garmin 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.

The Garmin comes with a custom charging clip that clips on to the GPS watch on one end and has a USB Adaptor on the other, so yes you can plug the Garmin charging clip on to the GPS Watch and the other end into an ipad USB plug.

No. You have to pay the money and get the brand charger that is voltage specific. You r Garmin has a rechargeable battery that is rated for a certain voltage. Even though you can get cell phone charger plugs that will fit your device that does not ensure that they will work. You simply have to pay the money to get the brand specific product , not some generic brand.

I honestly do not know for certain as do not have a GPS. There is a USB port on the head of the plug which can power a USB device. We have charged an additional smart phone via the USB port. I would believe that if your GPS is capable of being powered from the USB cable that you mentioned in your question, then yes it would power it through this source. You may want to reference your GPS manual for further information.

I have a Garmin and a Samsun 4s and I can charge both at the same time. If that helps you.

Yes, the power cord that plugs into the accessory socket (cigarette lighter) of the vehicle charges the GPS battery. Further, if power to the socket is turned off when you turn off the ignition, the GPS unit will automatically shut down after 15 seconds, and then will power up again when you turn the ignition switch back on.

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 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.
