Overview

The Garmin 010-11478-02 is an AC adapter cable kit for charging or powering compatible Garmin devices from a U.S.-style 110V wall outlet. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

It includes both a micro-USB cable and a mini-USB cable, so you can match the connector your device uses. The same cable setup can also connect to a computer for data transfer, which is useful when you need to load updates or move files before getting underway. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

On a boat, this is a straightforward way to top off a portable unit at the dock or at home without tying up an onboard 12V outlet. It is not a NMEA network cable and it is not meant for permanent, hardwired installation.

Compatibility and fit

This kit is for Garmin devices that charge through a micro-USB or mini-USB port. If your unit uses a different connector or a proprietary power plug, this is not the right cable. The quickest check is the port style on the device and the connector type on your current charging lead.

If you need charging from onboard power, use a suitable 12V or 24V to USB solution separately and keep this kit for shore power and computer connections.

Installation and setup

Select the micro-USB or mini-USB lead that matches your device, then connect it to the AC outlet adapter for charging from a wall outlet. For data transfer, connect the cable to a computer USB port and follow your device prompts. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

For marine use, keep the adapter and connections in a dry area such as the cabin or nav station, and avoid leaving the cable where it can be stepped on or snagged when the boat moves.

Who this is a good match for

This cable kit fits boaters who use a portable Garmin device and want a simple way to charge from shore power while planning routes or updating data on a laptop before getting underway.
