I have a new Garmin StreetPilot 7200 unit I want to use in a Mercedes HGV. The truck is 24 volt. Can I just plug the Garmin cigar lighter adaptor in and run it? I see Ebay has 12 / 24 volt combination chargers for various devices, is the stock Garmin unit clever enough to see waht input voltage comes from the cigar lighter socket? Thanks

On my Garmin power lead, there is a small Garmin label wrapped around the lead. That says input 10-30 volts, plus other info.

Have a look at yours Laughing

It's a brand new, unused set and there's nothing on the lead. I am definitely wary of plugging it into 24 volts though Smile Thanks for the reply, anyone else know about the 7200? As it's advertised for trucks and motorhomes I'd have thought it would be 24 volt compatible.
