Review: Order "Up-Angle" for Garmin Nuvi - This is a very nice, high quality cable, and it does work for charging Garmin Nuvi car navigators with some limitations. The limitations are that it doesn't work for "Traffic" because the Garmin charging cable is also the traffic antenna, and a USB cable is not. There is also an issue with a computer (data) symbol showing up on screen when the Garmin Nuvi does a cold boot-up. The latter is an annoyance. I spoke with Garmin customer support about the annoyance and here's the story: the Nuvi uses the same mini-USB port for both charging and for data, like map updates, etc. The way the Nuvi distinguishes between a Garmin data update attempt from a USB cable and an ordinary charging action (cigarette lighter cable) is by measuring the voltage entering the unit from the cable. A USB port for data operates at 4.75-5.25v 2.1A, but the Garmin cigarette lighter charging cable operates at 10v 2.4Amax. This means that the USB is charging at a lower voltage than the regular charging cable. When the Nuvi receives USB voltage, it assumes that a data transfer is being requested by the user. Garmin does not make a USB cable that works with the Nuvi because of the common port. The work-around is that the USB voltage can be made to work for charging by removing and re-inserting the USB connector after the computer (data) symbol appears on screen. (It takes about 30 seconds on my GPS.) Upon re-plugging the USB, the Nuvi will drop the data symbol and allow the unit to load maps and boot-up normally, albeit charging at an undervoltage. The USB then operates as a trickle charger, charging slower than the higher voltage regular charging cable. The computer symbol annoyance does not then reoccur as long as the unit remains booted. The annoyance will happen again when you next do a cold re-boot and you'll have to pull and re-insert the USB plug again as described above to do the work-around. Garmin says the problem doesn't occur on all Nuvi units, but does occur a lot of the time. On my Nuvi 2595LMT it happens most of the time. You need to understand this when purchasing the cable so you don't think the cable is at fault. Notwithstanding the annoyance, I use it and rate the cable, for what it is, at five stars. Don't make the assumption that "Down-Angle" in the product description means the MiniUSB cable points downwards on a Garmin Nuvi GPS; on my Garmin Nuvi 2595LMT, the connector on the GPS is reversed and the "Up-Angle" connector is the correct fit to have the cable point downwards. The product photos on desertcart correctly illustrate the position of the connector, so refer to the photo, rather than the Up/Down description that is almost meaningless. The Garmin's Nuvi GPS right-angle connector (the one supplied by Garmin with the GPS) is 180Β° opposite the direction that StarTech.com refers to as Down-Angle. The terms "up" and "down" may be unintentionally misleading in these circumstances. Best procedure would be to look directly at the orientation of the connector on your GPS and match it to the product photo to order the orientation you need, disregarding whatever may be the meaning of up/down in the product description. Review: Works great with my dash cam - I've had a dash cam for years, but it came with a straight mini-USB cable that was constantly disconnecting because it was pushed up against the windshield. Every time I moved the camera it dropped the connection. I was going to get rid of the camera, thinking it might be the USB port itself, then found this angled cable and decided to try it. Problem solved! It wasn't the camera; it was the cable. I've had this on my camera for the last few months and have not had a single power drop since. I've used StarTech products in the past and have always been satisfied with them which was the main reason I purchase this cable. I would not hesitate to purchase this again and will continue to use StarTech products in the future. It was shipped on time and well packaged. ## Features - A to Down Angle Mini B - USB cable - USB (M) to mini-USB Type B (M) - USB 2.0 - 6.6 ft ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00F2GR2H6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,605 in USB Cables | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Brand Name | StarTech.com | | Cable Type | USB | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Compatible Phone Models | Various Micro USB 2.0 compatible phone models | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Male | | Connector Type | Usb, Usb 2.0 | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 698 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 480 megabits_per_second | | Ethernet Cable Category | Cat 5 | | Frequency | 480 MHz | | Gauge | 28 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030851329 | | Included Components | StarTech.com Down Angle Mini USB Cable - 2m - Black - USB A to Mini USB B - USB to Mini USB Cable - Mini USB Charger - USB A to Mini B (USBAMB2MD) | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Length | 2 meters | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 0.05 kg | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Maximum Voltage | 5 volts | | Model | USBAMB2MD | | Model Name | USBAMB2MD | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 5 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Data Transfer | | Outer Material | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Part Number | USBAMB2MD | | Recommended Uses For Product | transferring data | | Special Feature | Data Transfer | | UPC | 065030851329 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech - **Connector Type:** Nickel - **Cable Type:** USB - **Compatible Devices:** PC - **Special Feature:** Data Transfer ## Images ![StarTech 2m Down Angle USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable, Black (USBAMB2MD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81z00BV3qlL.jpg) ![StarTech 2m Down Angle USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable, Black (USBAMB2MD) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81um0VzNz-L.jpg) ![StarTech 2m Down Angle USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable, Black (USBAMB2MD) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PqxpS6iLL.jpg) ![StarTech 2m Down Angle USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable, Black (USBAMB2MD) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GIe7RODEL.jpg) ![StarTech 2m Down Angle USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable, Black (USBAMB2MD) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vRJFq8WgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work with a Roku+ Streaming Stick?** A: I use this with a Garmin car GPS and it works great, just like any other mini usb cable.

Matt, StarTech.com Support **Q: will this charge a Garmin GPS?** A: As long as your GPS takes a mini USB then yes it will as long as your power source has enough amps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Order "Up-Angle" for Garmin Nuvi *by S***O on August 9, 2017* This is a very nice, high quality cable, and it does work for charging Garmin Nuvi car navigators with some limitations.
