Don't buy the cobra, mine will get you lost in a heart beat, then grip at you for getting of course when you pull over to ask for directions.
Run a line from your battery.

I believe the Garmin 200 is 5V at 500mA (heard that too much can burn it up, and too little might not charge it). Hooking up a cigarette lighter connection will work with the charger that came with it, but the cord is like a telephone cord and i think would be troublesome to run and take off when I take it in the truck. I want to run power permanently so that I can just plug it in when on the bike, but then I can also use that source to charge the blackberry or mp3 player (both will charge off of 5V at 500mA). I was going to post a thread asking others how they have powered theirs, but haven't gotten around to it...
+1 on the Garmin Nuvi 200 runs just a little over $100I don't like tom tom...
