My electric car only has USB ports and no cigarette lighter, so I bet you're right about it being replaced.
My first GPS came with a cigarette lighter plug.
My next one came with a USB cable along with a cigarette lighter to USB adapter.
I think most these days now come with a USB cable but no adapter.
I’m now starting to see some devices come with USB-C cables.
You're still buying GPS devices? What's wrong with your phone?
Not judging - genuinely curious why some people buy them.
Bought my first one probably 20+ years ago at this point.
Bought my second one probably 10+ years ago when traveling abroad and it was more reliable and cheaper to have offline maps of the countries I was going to.
We like to travel to places that often have spotty cellular coverage, if at all.
Ah okay, I don't go to places with spotty coverage all that often...and when I do I just download that part of Google maps onto my phone and it works just fine. And by "that part" I mean a significant part of my country! Small world here in Europe I guess.
