I know there are some people on the forum who really understand USB!
The cable for our Garmin is attached at one end to the 12V plug. The other is a right-angled USB (one of the smaller ones).
We don't mount the device on the windscreen, instead we have a weighted mat which sits on the dashboard with a mount on that. Unfortunately, this puts a strain on the usb plug with the result that it is now intermittently failing. I'd like to replace the cable for one with a straight plug which would fit much better.
Can I use one of those USB sockets which plug into the 12V supply, then an ordinary USB cable? Or will that sort of USB socket not provide enough current to drive the satnav?
TIA
