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? Ok, because then you couldn't use both cables at the same time. But they should have the USB cable plug into the car charger cable, instead of vice versa, so that you can use the car charger without extra cabling all over the place.

Also, the cord's coil is quite stiff and tends to pull relatively hard on the GPS unit if your cigarette lighter doesn't happen to be within 18" of the GPS.

Other than that... It does indeed charge the battery just fine.

Good Product..

Lighter adapter works as promised and has a power on light. Amazon had a good deal on them as well.

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.
