Anyone use a Garmin USB 12v Adapter for PDA recharge?


Recommended Posts

I have an 12v adapter for Vista Cx, plugs between the car cigarette lighter and and USB port on the GPS'r. The question is.... could this be used to recharge a Palm Z22? Both units have powered USB ports, the Garmin will just run off the USB when plugged into a computer while the Z22 will recharge. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Can't speak for the Palm, but I know it won't work with my Motorola cell phone... Odd thing is my Motorola charger runs my GPSr just fine...

 

(PDA and Cell manufacturers put a chip in the charger that sends a signal thru the power leads so that only their authorized accesories will activate the charging loops... Dell is another notorious brand for this...)
