Much Better than Garmin's Own Car Adapter
After about 15 uses, the car adapter that came with my Garmin Nuvi 660 broke. It was cheaply made, so I didn't want to spend the money on postage costs to have it repaired/replaced under the warranty. This Gilsson adapter is better made (heavier plastic), shorter in length (so it fits in my compact carrying case better, & it doesn't get in the way of my car's coin compartment like the Garmin did), easier to grip (unlike the Garmin, it has finger indentations & a tapered design), makes better contact with the power source, & costs less! Garmin users should note that the Gilsson adapter does not have the FM receiver that the Garmin has. I tried the Gilsson adapter in a car that has only a wire (in the window) antenna; that antenna, as you might imagine, gives lousy radio reception, so almost every FM station is considered by the Garmin to be am empty spot on the dial, even in a metropolitan area. This Gilsson adapter worked wonderfully in my particular situation--the Garmin's voice directions came through the FM radio loud & clear. For those of you needing a replacement (or second, as a back-up) adapter, I highly recommend this unit.Keyword : gps
