Review on 12V Adapter Cable for Garmin Devices by Johnny Nguyen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Problem solved! Full volume and brightness!

I bought a Garmin 765 late last year and just used it in my truck and car about a month ago where the MONSTER traffic cable wasn't really a problem. However, my main goal for the 765 was to use it on my bike as it allowed multipoint routes to be set up so I could give directions on less traveled roads as to where to go. As a result, my need for traffic information was virtually non-existent as I also live in a rural area. Riding this MONSTER power cord on a two wheeler was difficult. I tried using the mini-USB port for power with an original Garmin power supply, but found that this would cause my 765 to go into "office mode" at half brightness and what my mom called "Language in Space”, changed at half brightness. Volume. in bright sunlight and noisy outdoor areas. This item completely solved this problem and gave me full volume and full brightness with a controlled cable on my bike. Happy Days for only $16 and it works very well with a thin cable like a regular car power bank. not a genuine Garmin product. It says "Made in China" but doesn't say "Garmin" on it. But the truth is, the monster traffic cable that came with the new 765 says "Made in Taiwan," although it also says "Garmin" on it. So what's the difference? The difference is you save money by buying this great one. I just ordered a second one for my truck. I will keep this monstrous cable but will probably never use it? To the people complaining about the business - the end falls apart on their power adapters, that's how these car lighters work. All of them. The caps often require tightening, but you can solve this problem by removing the cap and applying some nail polish to the threads, then screwing the cap back on to prevent it from coming loose while you can replace the fuse if necessary .
