Power cable - USB to Garmin
I have been searching for a cable to power my Garmin in car.
My current power cable plugs into a cigar lighter port and connects to the windscreen sucker pad holding the garmin.
Spoiler: pics
The image shows the plug used in the Garmin holder.
I have searched for a USB to this plug without joy, can only find Cigar lighter to this plug.
I have tried using a USB to mini USB, but the Garmin shows as connected to a PC and will not run any Maps etc.
Anyone know of a cable USB to the Garmin plug in the image

@wlodekwbw
He's already got a 12v ciggy to 5v 18pin charger. What he wants is a 5v USB to 18pin plug cable.
@gpskid
I don't think it exists unless you make it yourself.

Good one FireFox58 the 4th one from the top may just be right. Cheap too, worth a go.

How about his one?
Spoiler: This might be what you are looking for
Spoiler: Screen shot
If not contact Garmin direct or check the second hand websites....
Or this one might help:
Spoiler: Or This
Spoiler: Or here
This also works if you use a Powerbank and a Garmin USB cable
Spoiler: Access to GPS using a powerbank
I also tried this with a smartphone charger.
It first goes into into the wrong mode but if you push the power button one time it comes up as a working GPS unit.
I hope this helpsLast edited by asprin624; 29th November 2018 at 12:50 PM.
