Review on πŸ”Œ Small Black Garmin Nuvi Vehicle Power Cable for Enhanced SEO by Jake Pavelko

Revainrating 4 out of 5

PROVIDES traffic information for specific GPS models

I bought this power cable to connect another car to my Garmin Nuvi 2597LMT. This power cable is identical to the one that came with the GPS and is even labeled TA20, just like the original fixed cable but with a different model number. Others state that this cable doesn't give you traffic information, but it depends on your GPS model. If your model has an FM traffic receiver built into the GPS itself (e.g. Nuvi 2597LMT), this cable will provide you with traffic information as the cable only acts as an antenna for the built in FM traffic receiver. Beware of aftermarket power cords as they may not perform this function as an antenna. Before spending money on a more expensive cable, it is best to check with Garmin to see if your GPS model has a built-in traffic receiver. If your GPS receives traffic with a TA20 cable, this model (010-11838-00) will work for you too.

Pros
  • Mini USB interface for easy connection to various devices.
Cons
  • Expensive
