There was a broken cable on my first charger cable just below the USB connector, I had to buy me a new one. The entire cable is 1.50 m long. The USB plug is not angled, which could lead to a renewed cable break any faster. But the cigarette plug fits perfectly this time and does not fall out continuously. The connector works with 12 and 24 volt and has a red light function. There are no communication problems. The nüvi is loaded and works with this cable properly. Super for so little money.
