Review on Garmin 010 11478 02 AC Charger U S by Fernando Ramani

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The charger's AC adapter is compatible with the Drive Smart 61, but the DATA cable is not!

This Garmin power adapter for the kit works fine but the USB data cable between the unit and the computer does not fit in the back of the Garmin Drive Smart 61. I ordered this kit specifically for the DATA cable. , now I have to order the right USB cable. Revain's ad specifically states that this kit is compatible with the Drive Smart 61 LMT-S. However, if you read the BOX yourself, it says it fits SOME Garmin devices. There is no model name of ANY Garmin device on the box, it is either compatible or not compatible. In my opinion, this is consumer fraud. Ads must be reviewed before they are published on the web. My other complaint, TRY to find a USB data cable specifically for Drive Smart 61, it's hard to find now I'm not sure who to trust and don't waste my money. I can still use the PSU as a backup. I'm leaving town soon and don't have time to reorder right now and there's no way to update the maps on my laptop. I do not trust Motel Wi-Fi and will NOT attempt to update my maps using Garmin's update option via Motel Wi-Fi while on the move. I don't normally have problems with Revain orders, which is rare, but this product and its contents have NOT been TESTED on a Garmin Drive Smart 61 with a USB data cable.
