This charger is not designed for the TomTom but for cell phones. The USB end is too large to fit into the TomTom and so out of the box, it did not work. I whittled away at the corners of the plastic around the connector and then it did fit and it now works just fine. Because of the price, if you are willing to do that minor modification this is not a bad deal.

the USB plug housing wasn't as big as it is. I followed another reviewer's suggestion of carving off some of the black plastic at the end of the USB plug with a utility knife. NOW it works just fine. A note of caution: don't get too aggressive with pressing down on the knife as you will be cutting into the metal. I took off about an 1/8" and it now inserts snugly into the TomTom. I would have given this five stars for the price and utility were it not for the requirement of a customer modification.
