Editorial Review: Product Description: Recharge the built-in Li-Ion battery of your Magellan eXplorist 400, 500 or 600 and keep it powered up in the field. Plug it in to any standard 12V cigarette lighter or vehicle auxiliary power port. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Crappy design, but functionally it works.MAgellan really needs to re-think the way they do the USB adapter and charger cords. As mentioned in previous reviews, you have to take the stupid USB cord with you in your car, if you want to use the car charger. So then you have the extra USB cord flopping around all over the place. I can live with the fact that the USB cord is an annoying screw-on thing (for water resistance blah blah), but why couldn't they make the car charger use the same adapter?

It would make more sense to have a cigarette adapter that pluged into the back of the unit the same way the USB cord does, that way there isn't a bunch of cord attached to the unit. Rating: - Requires USB cable in order to use this.Looking at the photo of this item, I noticed the plug at the end of this car lighter charger is NOT the screw on contraption needed for my eXplorist 400, so I was hesitant to purchase it until I did further research and found out WHY the plug is different. You still need the USB cable that came with the eXplorist and have to bring it in the car too! The big AC plug detaches from the USB cable, and AHA! Now you have a jack that this car charger can plug into! Then you ... Read More |
