Is it OK to leave my Nuvi 350 plugged in all the time in the car 12V.
cigarrete lighter? Will it damage the battery?

Thanks,

No problem with leaving it connected.

In my Honda, the cigarette lighter shuts off when the key is turned off and
the Nuvi powers down automattically.

Nope, but if you leave the car it is very tempting to steal the GPS.. . I
take mine with me.

Just to clarify, My truck cig. lighter stays "ON" all the time, regardless
of the truck is running or not. Is it still OK to leave it plugged in all
the time?

Thanks!

No problem with the GPS itself, just make sure you do not empty the car
battery, as you use power, even when GPS turned off.

My Nüvi (660) is using about 200 mAmps when turned off but still
connected to lighter plug !
So it will empty my car battery within a few days.
