How does the charging of the GPS (Garmin/Nuvi) work with this mount?. Where does the charging for the GPS connect to when using this Mount?

It work the same as with any mount. The cord plug into the back of the unit and the other end plugs into the cigarette lighter or power outlet!

The included charging cord plugs easily into the back of the GPS to the right of where the GPS attaches to the mount. I have a center console box where the charger plugs into the charger unit (same place I plug in my cell phone for charging).

The charging mechanism connects to the GPS system. The mount itself has nothing to do with it. A bracket fits on the GPS system which allows it to be connected to the mount.

Some of the older Nuvi's have charging connectors that are part of the cradle that the unit sits in. If you have one of this type that has the cradle that pushes on to the "ball" you will need to use that cradle with this mount. The newer ones you connect as usual before attaching to the holder that snaps on to the ball.

I can not answer very broadly. However, it should work on GPS units that have relatively flat back surfaces. I have a Garmin nuvi 750 and nuvi 50LM. The 50LM has a flat back with the power plug attachment on the righthand edge. It works fine the the air vent mount. The nuvi 750 has the ball socket mount on the back. The mount also includes the power cable connector. It is too fat to be held in the air vent mount. Since I did not plan to use the ball mount anymore, I ground it off with a stone wheel grinder so it is just the thickness necessary to connect the power. It now stays in the mount reasonably well. Good Luck. I can not answer very broadly. However, it should work on GPS units that have relatively flat back surfaces. I have a Garmin nuvi 750 and nuvi 50LM.

I believe all new model Garmin's have a standard charging plug. As a result, I would think it should work, but as others have said you should contact Garmin directly to confirm.

It comes with a mounting device that you affix to the windshield. I didn't want something attached to the interior of my windshield and wanted to avoid having the GPS visible to potential thieves. I ordered a Garmin Portable Friction Mount at the same time I ordered the Nuvi. It works extremely well and allows me to take it off the dash (I have a Mercedes Sprinter RV) and put it out of sight on the floor. The mount that came with the Nuvi is still wrapped in the original plastic.

What model did the charger come from? I am no expert on Garmin compatibility but it might be worth your while to go over to the Garmin website and ask the question there.

This does not come with what you would need to mount it to a Garmin suction mount. http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResults/PartDetails/tabid/63/partid/082065077045072079076045071065053055085/Default.aspx

Hello Jason, Check and see if the USB interface is to either just update the data on the devise, or if it's a means to charge it as well. If it is a dual purpose, and can charge the GPS, then, yes, it should be able to charge it.

Depends on what cord you are asking for. GPS charging cord : Should come with the GPS. If you have specialised needs for an extra long one, you will need to buy that yourself. This mount comes with everything necessary for mounting a device. Any accessories beyond mounting you will need to get yourself (meaning charging cable etc)

I'm not sure why, but this is normal procedure for several Garmin models (it was the same for my 260, that is, when I plugged it into the computer to charge -- I don't have an AC adapter). On the other-hand, I can use my 765t during charging.

The back side of your Garmin power cord mount has a ball socket. This CD mount has a ball on it that pops into that socket.

Any computer should be able to detect a new device using a USB connection. However the necessary drivers and information is at the garmin website. The fact that it is charging means your computer knows it is there.

I can give you no definitive answer, however , if it will plug into the GPS unit , it should be Ok! I use a Garmin nuvi 1350. The charger works fine!

All Garmin units come with a power cable that plugs into your cigarette lighter, which will charge the Nuvi while you drive. What Garmin doesn't provide for this particular unit is a USB cable. You will need this cable to register and download any firmware updates (free) or map updates (not free). One can also charge the Nuvi via this cable through your computer, if you wish. Any standard USB cable (std A connector on one end, mini B on the other) that comes with most digital cameras or computer peripherals will work. If you don't have one, you will need to purchase it. I often drive without the cable plugged into the cigarette lighter port (on short trips), just because I don't like the cable hanging down. On any trips over several hours, I keep it plugged in. Garmin has upgraded the 2x0 series with some of the features found on the 2x5 series, but since there is still old stock out there, you may not receive an updated unit (chances are you will). Don't worry though, the 260 is a solid GPS even without some of the refinements.

This can work any size, however, if the power connector is behind the device like all Garmin devices, then you won't be able to connect to power while it is in the mount.

Gday Keith. The included GPS Antenna connects to one of the USB Ports on the back on the unit. Hope this answers your query.

Hello Mark,It does not fit on a Garmin suction cup mount. The back of the cradle has two screw holes that will only attach to RAM suction cup mounts.

Used it for several days with my Garmin Nuvi. No problems whatsoever. Sticking the metal plate to the back of my GPS did interfere with the use of my Garmin window mount, but this one is so much better that I don't care that the Garmin mount can't be used anymore.
