I was just told by a best buy employee that a charger putting out only 5V would not power the gps unit, which requires 12V. Thoughts?

USB is standardized at 5v
Some devices require a slightly higher amp rating but all USB devices operate at the device standard of 5v. While in the car I have never needed power/charge more than 2 devices and I use a Griffin Dual Charger that is rated at 1 full amp output. I don't use a separate GPS devise but I do use a Bluetooth GPS Receiver paired with my Incredible for navigation and this charger powers both. I like the increased accuracy that my Bluetooth GPS offers. I think that if you check the specs printed on the charger that came with your GPS you will find that its output is 5v. Unless your GPS is designed to plug directly into the power outlet/lighter receptacle in your car and in that case it does require 12v input.
At the risk of POing the Best Buy Folks l am have not been overly impressed with the few I've dealt with having been given wrong information on multiple occasions.

Hey wheelguner thanks for the info. I've winced checked my gps original charger...it is set for 12v and does plug directly into the car lighter receptacle. No worries though, I've found a car charger that charges both correctly.
