Although you can easily tap vehicle power for your Garmin GPS device via a 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter adapter, there is a cleaner way to install your device. Garmin offers a cable for this task, featuring a mini-USB or proprietary DIN-style connector at one end and four flying-lead conductors at the other. By connecting this cable directly to a 12-volt source such as the vehicle’s battery, you will no longer have unsightly wires strung all over your vehicle’s dash. Warnings Writer Bio
