Adafruit Item # 501 compatibility

Post by makertechtronics »

Adafruit Industries 501 USB Port Power Supply (AC Adapter), 5V, 1A (1000mA) can you tell me if this plug will charge a Garmin drive 60 GPS which requires a 4.75 - 5.25v-2A which is what the car charger has. No plug so far I try charges it.

You probably want more power like https://www.adafruit.com/product/1994 or https://www.adafruit.com/product/1995 If the Garmin does not reject the 1 amp power supply it would work just much slower.
