The car charger also does it's job as charging it. But you can't use the GPS while it's charging in the car. Because it also thinks that your connected to the computer.
Both use the USB type of connector to connect it to the GPS
The tip of both chargers is the same and won't fit the Automotive Suction Cup Mount so you can't take advantage of the speakers on the Mount. You'll have to get the Garmin 12-Volt Vehicle DC Power Adapter for the StreetPilot C510 and C550 (010-10747-03) to make the mount work. Which is what I got eventually.I bought a Garmin Zumo 450 navigator for my bike. I also want to use it in my truck so I bought the windshield mount and the Gomadic cigarette lighter plug that was recommended by the "other buyers who purchased a Garmin also bought these items" section on the website. Everything came and I went out to put it in my truck and guess what...? The "tip exchange" piece doesn't fit the Garmin 450. Why do they sell you Garmin 450, a windshield mount that fits the Garmin 450 and then sell you a power cord with the wrong tip? I guess it's so you'll just have to order another tip for $5.95 (plus $5.00 shipping) which will fit. RINKY DINK! At least they should send the tip that fits the unit you buy!The zumo takes a standard mini USB connection like most phones except the iGay. I bought this not knowing and i have tons of adapters like this already.I ordered this charger system with the idea that I would use it in my car. I use the system that came with the Zumo on my motorcycle. The system doesn't seem to want to charge the item, and it is constantly running out of power. In addition, with the windshield mount, I get no sound. The wall plug-in works fine.The charger do what they say they do.The adapter fit my GPS like it stated it would,and charges the battery just fine.
The one thing that confused me is I didn't know my GPS yet and I had know idear where it gets pluged in.The picture show it being pluged into the side of the GPS.
I don't leave home with out them now.
