- Brand New in Bluk Package
- Original Magellan Adapter
- Build in Dynamic IC Charge IC & Power fuse for rapid charging and over charge protection
- for Magellan Maestro 5310 & Roadmate 1700 GPS
(I use it with my Magellan 1700. It has ample amps (the max) so it will charge fast.)Received quickly from the vendor. Plugged it in and it works well. I use it to plan trips inside the house prior to getting into the car. I find it a critical accessory since the GPS battery has a short life.This is a surprisingly good product. I have a very good GPS in my car, integrated with OnStar. I bought the Magellan so that I could plug it into a rental car after flying to Florida. I also bought the adapter so that I could program in the places I wanted to visit before I left home in Canada.
The Magellan was quite good almost as good as the one in my car, which cost about 30 times more. It is very easy to program and it is easy to read and hear in strange surroundings. Most of Florida is pretty simple to navigate on one's own but Miami is a nightmare for all but the cognoscenti. There, the Magellan was dead-accurate. I would have been lost without it. It saved my bacon several times.
My only quibble would be the geeky voice with a Spanish accent, but I guess that's the state of the art. Also, be careful programming the right options. If you "minimize freeways," Magellan can take you on a horrendous detour to save a two buck toll. Once I made this mistake once and realized the error, there was no problem.I purchased the Magellan OEM power AC adapter in August 2011 but didn't open the package until February 2012. The cord was enclosed but not the part that plugs in to the outlet. I contacted this company knowing too much time had lapsed to return but expected at least some response. Received no acknowledgement from them at all.
