Title: Poorly designed but essential
Product review: This is the same car adapter that is supplied with the Nuvi 370, so there is no need to purchase it separately unless you've lost yours or need a spare. Although it works just fine (and why shouldn't it, it's just a DC adapter?), the black plastic used to wrap the wire is not sufficiently pliable. It is unnecessarily stiff, especially when it is cold. As a result the cord often gets in the way. And the end that fits into the nav unit is at a fixed 90 degreee angle, so unless you are using the suction cup (illegal in at least two states) or the friction fit, the design of the cord means that the nav unit cannot lie flat. These are two very annoying design elements that have no place, in my opinion, with a fine product like the Nuvi 370. It appears to me that they tried to cut corners somewhere, and this DC adapter seems to have been the place.My
