I'm a "Garmin guy" but it is frustrating to have to replace the entire power cable again because this proprietary round connector pulls apart. My Garmin 496 is a portable and so is going to be installed and removed on a fairly regular basis. The connector unplugs hard and a little rocking is usually necessary. The last time I pulled it out of the airplane for the recent firmware update I didn't even notice that the connector separated into two pieces, until I tried to put the unit back. Sighhh. It could be really annoying on a long trip where you are probably going to unplug this deal every night to remove the navigator from the airplane.
