Perhaps the fact that it happens in both vehicles is an indication that the power cord is not ok. I don't have a Magellan but i'm sure they work the same as a Garmin, so when 'plugged in' to the powered lighter charger there should be sufficient current to both power the unit and charge it's battery. Try another power lead, any brand with a compatible plug [most are miniUSB], 5V DC output and at least 1 amp current should work.

Try a special loading USB cord. This have just 2 contact section and works not for data transfer. The "normal" data cords have almost just 0,5amps. The loading cord up to 2amps. The amp transfer depends also from your unit
