Crappy design, but functionally it works........2007-06-26
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.........2007-03-09
Lighter adapter works as promised and has a power on light. Amazon had a good deal on them as well.
not as advertized.......2007-01-16
This was advertised on the web site and on an e-mail sent to me by Amazon, that this unit will work with the eXplorist 300. This eXplorist has has no ports for anything to plug into it. Because this was purchased from a authorized Amazon company, I could not return without a big hastle.
Sorry this is not for the product.
Magellan could have done better.......2006-07-19
The cord works just fine, but by the time you get the USB cord and the 12v cord together, there is a lot of cord. 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.
Requires USB cable in order to use this........2006-04-10
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 screw that cable onto your GPS unit as when you charge it via AC.
In other words... This charger does NOT plug into your GPS, it plugs into your GPS charger cable which attaches to your GPS.
But I don't want to take that cable in the car with me, because if it gets damaged or lost, then I can never charge the unit at all, not even at home with AC. So I was forced to find and purchase another USB cable assembly seperately, to keep in the car with this car lighter charger.
Magellan should have just put the screw on connector at the end of this car charger instead of the way they did it.
The car lighter charger has a nice coiled cord, but what good is it? You still have to have the long USB cable attached to it anyway!
But hopefully this will help everyone, that like me, was puzzled by the photo of the item and the connector that isn't going to fit anywhere in the eXplorist 400.

Confusion.......2007-11-04
The item was ordered, the seller accepted the debit card, later refunded the money, and the item was never sent. No communication was made with me, so I lost time thinking that the compact flash card was on its way. Not sure what happened there and remain confused.
Thanks for listening,
Lee Vanden Bosch
Great Speed.......2007-10-04
This flash card is great. I always thought the delay between pictures was due to the digatal camera, but I found out it was the other flash cards I was using. With this flash card I can take one picture right after another one without any delay.
Excellent Card.......2007-04-10
I bought this to go with a Canon Digital Rebel and it was love at first sight. It is fast and I have never lost a picture from it. One note for anyone considering this - copy the software off it to a dvd or something as I forgot to and after formatting the flash in the camera, I now don't have the recovery software that Lexar is now charging for. I love this compact flash card and have to keep my eye on it as my daughter is constantly trying to switch it out with a cheap one of hers.
Excellent service from Lexar.......2006-11-09
I own many Lexar memory cards and am very satisfied with their performance. However, I must add that LEXAR (USA) provides EXCELLENT service. I live in Cape Town, South Africa..... whilst I was formatting one of my LEXAR cards in my Nikon D70, I terminated the formatting halfway (accidentally).... card was damaged..... sent card to LEXAR USA after logging the problem in their website and within 10 days I had a brand new card couried to me by LEXAR..... no questions asked.... This is outstanding service!!! Well done Lexar.....Exceeded expectations!
Lexar's Pro Series is the way to go.......2006-08-22
Fast read/write times are a must for me. I am pleased so far with the card.
