Namely my MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Headset USB charger, which by the way these headphones ROCK!

It seems from my search on the subject the USB power is supposed to be the same universally, but there are some differences it seems.
Thanks for raising the issue, I have been wondering myself how best to charge the GPS receiver. Not always practical in the car.

Well it WORKS!
My USB wall charger for my S9 charges my Palm GPS unite!

I am still here, my place is still standing and my GPS did not burn up.

However I did read on the net that not all USB chargers are the same.
So be warned, it worked this time, I took the chance and won!

Same question...

I had the same question, so tried the web chat. The web chat group didn't have the answer, so I was told to call(free since it was escalated).

The official solution is to use the Z22 charger kit from Palm. This charger is rated at 500mA though, so I wonder if it will take a lot longer to recharge compared to the car charger. If you look under the battery, it lists 800mA, with a 5.2VDC for what it is looking for.

I looked around and came up with the USB cable from a Logitech Harmony 890, and it seems to be working. So, my computer will work as a charger by the look of it.
