Rating:  - Should have bought it years ago
Should have bought it years ago... Very happy with my Magellan GPS, and this allows me to use my PC and GPS when I'm on the move without worrying about keeping fresh batteries on hand. Power and data cables are long enough to reach anywhere in my truck, and it works with a KeySpan adaptor to connect to a USB port.
Rating:  - Disappointed
I just ordered my third one of these.The first two just quit working.I called Magellan tech support (clearly handled from Asia, by the way) both times and after a lot of diagnostic work was told my cable was no good.
Another irritation: why use a serial port connection?My laptop does not have a serial port so I have had to buy a cumbersome adapter (not cheap) that is itself finicky.Why not USB?

Rating:  - Yep, It's A Cable
The only question I have is why *only* the cigarette lighter adapter?Very few cars (I know there must be *some* out there) have CD-ROM capable computers installed in them and hard as I may try, my car won't make it up the 2 flights of stairs (without damaging the banister or carpet) to get to my home office.
The only way I could use both power and data connectors at home was by purchasing a 3rd party 110v to 12v adapter to use with household current.It's a cheesy and unattractive ... Read More
