I've been powering a gps or charge a cell phone for several years and it works without any mentionable problem using a customary converter (220V mains electricity). To step up to step down like a sinusoidal curve isn't sophisticated, I grant, it even is the renunciation of sense of proportion.
Nevertheless please take into total account a couple of advantages that accrued:
- it works reliably for many years without installation, just plug & play,
Quote:
- the converter has an in-built universal applicability in contradistinction to USB
(my modern Canon camera has 4-pin firewire, my halfway new cellphone has MicroUSB whereas my razor and my laptop need their fill straight from the usual household socket, how about the apple music whatsit from my daughter, the GPS has a jack plug) and for the next generation ... I'm already prepared.
- it is mobil, one is enough for all your vehicles including motorboat and bike,
- is has overheating protection (but it isn't even noticeable warm when working),
- it has an overload cut-off plus fuse,
- it has adjustable undervoltage protection,
- it has even acoustical and optical alarm before overheating, overloading or undervoltage-ing,
- it has manual power on/off and timeout power management,
- it makes you free to operate great grandmothers floor lamp amidst the desert or a sausage slicer during rush hour traffic. Don't get me wrong, no deserts in Central Europe and barely a rush hour in Northern Germany but you never know.
Again I would like to express that my system is the height of inefficiency respectively defines the meaning of this word. And it works great.

I have been wondering how I could power a gps or charge a cell phone when in my Packard...I did some searching on the web, and found no practical solution available...
