Default GPSMap 396 Power Cable

...to see if I can get it to mate and unmate easier.

I'll report back if I can "improve" this connector.

Just a thought...it might be stupid...but...does anyone think a little
silicon spray lubricant on the sides of the connector would help...or
graphite powder for that matter.

FWIW, I have the auto power cord with the speaker for car navigation as
dlevy mentioned. I keep this in my flight bag with the bean-bag and cradle.
It way it's always there if I break the aviation one and it's always there
when I need it for the car...but I digress...my point is that I've noticed
that there is a SIGNIFICANT difference in how easy this plug comes out of
the back of the 396 as compared to the plug for the airplane. It seems like
the material is a little different...maybe harder...but whatever...it comes
out MUCH easier then the aviation plug. Anyone else notice this?
