This was one of the most expensive GPS charger on Amazone and I still bought it thinking that qulality might be better. Indeed it looks solid but doesn’t fit on some of the older car’s such as Toyota Sequoia, my suggestion will be to avoid this product if you have an older car.
On the +ve side it works really well on new cars.

I like the angle of the plug as the lighter socket in my car is hard to plug into with a standard, straight plug.

Original car charger was destroyed. Tried numerous usb adapters and chargers, all would power the unit but would not charge the internal battery. This charger/adapter did the trick. Although it doesn’t have the feel of quality as the original (cord isn’t rubberized or as long as the original) it is definitely worth the price. A+

After breaking the power cord for my Magellan GPS, I looked around for a replacement. Magellan was ready to sell me a new one for $25. Same price for a generic one from an electronics store. Then I found another one here at Amazon for $12. And, finally, I came across this one for less than a dollar. The price disparity was so great that I was inclined to be suspicious of its quality, but for less than a dollar I was willing to risk it. It works just fine. As noted by another reviewer, the cord is just a little on the short side, but I have found it long enough to reach over the steering wheel from the cigarette lighter to the lower left corner of the windshield in my 2003 Toyota Rav-4. I’ve only needed to use it a single time since the purchase – but so far, so good.

This device works like it is designed to, however the cord is the coiled type, and seems a little short. If you are needing to span a fairly long distance from the GPS unit to the cigarette lighter plug, then you may consider a non-coiled design.
I have a Jeep Cherokee, and the GPS is mounted on the front windshield. Not a great distance to the lighter socket, but it is a bit of a stretch with this coiled cable.
Otherwise this one works well, with a good solid connection on both ends, and an indicator (red) LED light tells you the plug is operating.
