Yeah, I know. But when it does ... I'm asking here because it's the hub of Nuvi activity, but I'm currently looking to hook this to my D710. I am powering a GPS18 by stealing from the 100mA source that's available at the microphone connector - but I don't dare hook the Nuvi to that because I don't want to pop an internal fuse or burn something out. So I'm out to find a different arrangement that I can leave in place that connects directly to 12V and provides 5V at the DE9 that goes to whatever GPS I hook up. 73, chris
