Cons

This company seems to specialize in very cheap products that have a high probability of not working. Their is no company name/website/contact info anywhere on the package. My suggestion is to take the $10 that you would spend on this and burn it.

The device was never recognized by my gps unit. Tried plugging it into multiple computers, but was completely dead.
