Motorola RAZR phone uses the exact same usb port as Nuvi 350. My RAZR car adapter appears to work on the Nuvi. Do anyone know if I will damage my Nuvi's battery if I continue to use it to run the unit? Motorola use the 3.7v lithum ion battery. Anyone know the Nuvi battery specs? Please advise? Thanks!
I was under the impression
I was under the impression that some car chargers are "smart" ones meaning that they detect the amount of charge on the battery and stop charging when the battery is fully charged. I'm not sure if the nuvi expects this or not. If I had to guess, I'd say you are probably ok since the nuvi also charges when you connect it to your computer using the USB cable and it's highly unlikely that the computer USB port knows to stop delivering charge at any point. I'd use caution until you research further or receive more expert information from someone here.
if the amp and volts are
if the amp and volts are nearly same than you can use it or just dis continue as it may cause damage to your navigator system
Safe Option
I just bought a 110 Volt supply for my car. I can now run my laptop, iPod, and charge my cell phone all at the same time. It costed me 70$ and is great whem on the move. You can buy this stuff from BB , CC or any online store...
I agreed if the amps/volts
I agreed if the amps/volts is approx should be okay to use. But i am not sure what the voltage of Nuvi battery and output of the car adaptor Nuvi use. Anyone know?
c550
Are there any normal cradles with suction cup and built in charger for c550? I know they had them for c330??

I have an USB cable connected to one of the three USB ports on my laptop. The other end is a mini-USB connector. With this, I charge & manage my RAZR (via Motorola Phone Tool), charge up my Plantronics 640 bluetooth headset, connect to external drives, and now charge/manage my 660. They all work fine because it's a standard. Quoting from the USB standards body:
With vast majority of peripherals communicating with a computer through Universal Serial Bus, USB is naturally the candidate for mobile point-to-point connectivity. Though, the major obstacle associated with this proposal is that USB employs a master-slave protocol, which relies on the intelligence of the host. Implementing the entire USB host on any portable electronics will be an over-kill for any dedicated devices. Not only will a standard USB host significantly cripple the battery life of a low-powered device, the connectors are also too large for the form factor of those miniature devices.
To address these problems, a new supplement to USB 2.0 specification has been finalized in December 2001. The new standard, called USB On-The-Go, defines new mini connectors, negotiation rules and power requirements used in both host and peripheral...
