Perhaps that rather strange device is the thing you plug into a car's cigarette lighter socket when you are using the GPS in a car. That could be called a mobile charger. There is one on mine, and I also have a double socket so I can keep my laptop charged at the same time.

I presume that this is the cable with a connector at one end and a rather strange device at the other, but I have no idea how it works, so I'd like to be enlightened. Thanks.
