Summary: you sold me the wrong part
Comment: I ordered the car adapter that was listed with the GPS unit I was buying. I did not have an occasion to use the adapter until yesterday, 20 NOV 07, 31 days after ordering, and was I surprised. You sold me an adapter that does not work with the model I bought. It is also past your return limit of 30 days, so I am SOL. I'll just find some place else to buy from in the future.
Thanks a lot

Summary: Oopps!
Comment: The product description says that this charger works for all Garmin e-Trex models... Oopps! Except for the Legend Cx, which is the one I happen to have, so it was an expensive mistake for me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not the correct Garmin adapter
Comment: Though shown as an accessory for the Garmin Model I ordered at the same time, it had the incorrect fitting so could not be used and had to be returned.

Summary: VERY OVERPRICED!
Comment: (Copied of my review of the 'Garmin 12-Volt Car Power Cable for eTrex, Legend C and Vista C (010-10563-00)' and it all applies here as well)
No matter how much I want continuous power to my Garmin I just can't pay that much for a little power cable that costs probably $1 to make. It's the principle of it.
Instead I did some research and discovered a nifty little item called a USB car adapter for as low as two dollars! - then I can just use the USB cord that came with the unit! Only the wires needed for supplying power are used and not those for the data (they are separate wires in the cord). For more info do a search on Wikipedia for USB, and Goggle and right here at Amazon for USB car chargers.
I found a great dual charging unit elsewhere for $15 including shipping. With the dual unit I can charge my eTrex Vista HCx and phone or PDA, both at the same time. Just make sure the power output is 4.75 to 5.25V, that's the USB power specification. All but one of the units I found where in the proper power range though one was 7.2V, which is too high.
BTW, the little connector at the eTrex is also a USB connecter, just a different type (shape) then you may be used to. They call it a `mini USB,' while the larger one on the other end (of the cord that came with the unit) is a `USB type A', the same you typically see for computers and flash cards. It doesn't matter though, they are just differently shaped connectors that do exactly the same thing.
Don't pay Garmin's outrageous prices. Get a USB car adapter and power your eTrex through the USB cord supplied with your unit. It's the same as when you plug your unit into your computer's USB port and the computer supplies the unit with 5V power. Enjoy

Summary: Garmin Vehicle DC Power Adapter for eTrex and Geko (010-10203-00)
Comment: Finish: Satisfactory
Functional Rating: Not tested Yet.
Problem: The GPS end USB connector is not supplied. Which is not good.
Alternative: Any Vehicle DC Power adaptor ranging 3.5 to 4 volt is good substitute.
