Gps Compatibility

Will my Garmin Nuvi adapter blow the fuse in my 2005 Ford Taurus? Taurus manual says "do not use the power point over the vehicle capacity of 12VDC/180W." The Garmin adapter is M/N GTM 60 and has these specs...Fuse: 2A/250V, Input: 10-30V, Output: 5V/2A. Thank you kindly for your answer(s). Much appreciated! ---Mike

Greetings - I understand 10-30V to imply the Nuvi's adapterv will accept anything between 10V and 30 V - hence the 12V that the power point has to offer is rightly within the parameters and should thus cauese no undesired issues.

Hope that is helpful.
