 VERY HANDY PRODUCT September 7, 2008
ALTHOUGH THE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS PRODUCT SPECIFIES THAT IT IS FOR THE 510 AND 550, IT IS ALSO DESIGNED FOR THE 760, WHICH I USED IT WITH. SINCE WE WERE GOING TO BE FLYING, THEN RENTING A CAR, I WANTED SOMETHING MORE COMPACT THAN THE TRAFFIC RECEIVER THAT COMES WITH THE 760, PLUS I HAD DOUBTS THAT TRAFFIC INFO WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE RURAL MIDWEST. SOME OF THE REVIEWS THAT I READ BEFORE PURCHASING THIS ADAPTER, INDICATED THAT IT WAS RATHER FLIMSY AND DIFFICULT TO INSERT AND REMOVE. I DIDN'T FIND THIS TO BE THE CASE AT ALL. THE UNIT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY WELL MADE, AND SLIPPED EASILY AND SECURELY INTO THE LIGHTER SOCKET AND THE POWER OUTLET IN THE RENTAL CAR. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR ALL APPLICABLE GARMIN UNITS, AND PARTICULARLY AS A MORE COMPACT ALTERNATIVE TO THE TRAFFIC RECEIVERS SUPPLIED WITH SOME UNITS.

this item was returned for credit, however it has not been credited to my Bill Me Later Account.
Garmin Replacement Charger August 27, 2008
I purchased the replacement charger for the Garmin Nuvi 770. The product is superior to the original since it has metal parts and not the cheap plastic. It was well worth the purchase. Always go to Garmin site to match up the model numbers before you order from a second source. The 770 Nuvi was not listed on the package but the Garmin site verified that the product was the same. Don't even try to repair the old part, there is not a glue out there that will hold it together. I received the part 2 days before the estimated delivery date (standard ground, no upgrade)
 WARNING: Re: Nuvi 660 Traffic Alert August 26, 2008
This adapter does work for the Garmin nuvi 660.
However, If You Subscribed to the Traffic Alert, this adapter WILL NOT PICK UP the traffic alerts nor will you even get an icon on your nuvi. There is another fuse in the original adapter that came with your Garmin nuvi that supports the "traffic alert". If your nuvi is still under warranty, Garmin will send you out a repair kit that includes another tip at no charge. They can at their discretion void your warranty if you use another adapter that did not come with your original unit.
Please call 1-800-800-1020 (central time) 8am-7pm technical support. When the "automated person" comes on quickly press 2; then press 1 and you will be placed on hold for the next technician.
 Not necessary.... August 21, 2008

I was angry about ordering this. The GPS ordering page made it appear like it was a necessary item to order along with the GPS, so I did. Then the GPS arrived, and there was one in the box?
This was deceptive.....and it really angered me.
Amazon did make it right - they refunded everything, but only after I emailed them twice. It was shipped separately, so I had to pay separate shipping on it...etc...
It was a pain - and all because of their deceptive sales approach on the page.
