Not sure about your GPS but my 60csx will function as you describe. It does not charge the batteries it just bypasses the batteries and runs on either the computer, car, or outlet.

Might want to think about rechargeable batteries. Save a lot of money in a short time

I agree that rechargeable batteries is the way to go if you're using up batteries at the rate of a pair every one or two weeks. Get NiMH, and if you tend to leave them lying around, get the low self discharge NiMH (e.g. Eneloop).

 

Back to your original question, if the 775T car adapter is mini USB, you should be able to use it to power your 62s. Note that it will NOT recharge any rechargeable batteries, it will merely use USB power instead of battery power when connected.

Wild Man... You can take the batteries out and it will still start up and run normally when connected with the adapter plug.
