USB Power

Ok, sitting here looking at GPS's and was thinking of adding another power outlet... most electronics now can be charged via USB, so I started looking....

Thats a good idea...thanks for the info

Just realize that some GPS's (like many Garmin's) will go into sync mode if plugged into a normal USB connector. They will not operate and charge unless they have a special USB connector.



I hardwired in my garmin to one of these:

I think a 12 volt source will burn the Garmins. Needs to be cut back. Just in case somebody forgets.

Would this be better than a plain old 12volt lighter plug outlet??? I always put di-electric grease into my outlet and then just plug it in. It has always worked for me.
