Powering a Nuvi 255w

I'd like to get the RAM motorcycle mount for the Garmin 255w but cannot find a way to power the 255w. Do they make a power cable for the 255w that can be connected directly to the battery or centech fuse panel?

thanks!

I use this with my Oregons and Nuvis on the bike, wired directly to the battery with a fuse inline. I used to have a 255W and I'm sure this would have worked for it.



Price is right: from GPSCity.ca it's $24.95 Cad. It'll be a bit cheaper from GPSCity.com if you buy it there.

I use a female cig plug wired to my battery. It allows me to directly plug the car charger for my nuvi into it, as well as any other cig lighter chargers I may need to use.
