Comment:
I ordered the Garmin AC Charger with International Adapters for my Nüvi 855. Product works as advertised. It works well with the Nüvi 855, and charges it up in a couple of hours or so. As mentioned in other reviews this charger allows one to operate the Nüvi from the wall outlet, or just charge it up. I really got tired of having to start up the PC every time I wanted to charge up the Nüvi, and having the AC charger, is so much more convenient (note: I do paperless geocaching with the Nüvi, so the battery tends to get depleted frequently.)
I considered getting cheaper 3rd party generic chargers but wasn't sure I could operate the Nüvi while hooked up to the charger. I'm glad I spent a few more bucks to get the Garmin charger and make sure I had the capability to operate while charging.
The product comes with three sets of interchangeable plugs, however I don't know how the other plugs work as I haven't gone traveling abroad (outside US).

ANOTHER BAD CHOICE

Comment:
Amazon offers this as an accessory for the Garmin Approach G5. This is a recharger. the G-5 is battery powered, not a rechargeable. Why is Amazon offering a product that cannot be used with the product for which it is recommended? is this Amazon's choice or the retailer's choice? Whoever's choice it is, it certainly makes them look like either they do not know what they are talking about or they are trying to defraud the unwary buyer. if you bought the G5 or G3, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Don't waste your money

Comment:
Very cheaply made. The tiny plastic clip that is supposed to lock the various adaptors broke off the first time I used it.

Worse than a waste of money

Comment:
This is a great product if you want to waste your precious luggage space by carrying an adapter that only charges your Garmin. This device could have been designed to be much more useful by allowing the adapter itself to be used for other plugins. Save your money and luggage space by getting a universal adapter for the country you're visiting and plug the normal a normal Garmin-compatible charger into that. Or just let the Garmin charge in a vehicle if you're not using only the pedestrian mode.
Comment:
Factory charger for Nuvi. Mulitiple adapters, which I currently have no use for, but product is great.
