Will this USB cable fry my nuvi?

it will work no problem.

I use several different cables with my nuvi and so far, so good.... no problems.

Hi again.
Can I use my blackberry charger to charge my Nuvi 270. Would like to use AC charger instead of computer.

I am also using my blackberry charger to charge both my nuvi 200w and 270. I am also using the mini USB cable supplied with blackberry to update the info on both my GPS and it has not yet fried my nuvis .

I just use the USB cord that came with one of my cameras. It works fine.

I have what some might think of as a simple (minded) suggestion. How about using your nuvi cable as the one you use for other USB mini charging/transfer things as well? So far it has worked for me as the standard transfer/charge cable for everything I have hooked it to.

But remember - "Your mileage may vary." So, if your expensive PDA/phone/camera/MP3 player/raisin peeler blows a gasket, don't come crying to me.

Cheers,

I have a Motorola cell phone, an Ipaq, a NUVI, a Holux mini GPS as well as a few others that use the mini USB type charger. I interchange all of the chargers, never had a problem. I believe it's all 5V on a standard pin arrangement.

Yes, they are all intechangeable. That's what the U stands for - "Universal". The only difference you will ever see is that some devices respect the storage mode status pin and some do not. That does not affect the charging, however.

I say that we should ALL respect the Storage Mode Status Pin!

I've never understood those "filters", but any cable that has the right plugs works a-ok

I just have one cable attached to my computer to which I hook an MP3 player, camera, GPS, and an MP4 video player. Seems to work the same for all of them.

Also known as a ferrite bead. Its purpose is to reduce or eliminate emitted radio frequency crud.

Should not cause any problems with your (or my) GPS.
