No, the magellan 2000 can not be charged with a phone charger (usb connection) you have to use either the car or house charger that was provided with the 2000 when it was bought or you can buy a replacement off sites like ebay.com
magellangps.com also sells them, but they cost double if not triple what you can get them for on ebay.com
if your having power issues with your 2000 and you have a car charger for it and the charger light is on, then the problem is probably in the power port inside the gps.
This is very common problem with this and many model of magellans.
Try the car charger.
Make sure green light is on the car charger and let it plugged in for awhile, then hold the power button (up to ten seconds) until it starts..if that fails
The
following Magellan 2000, 2200t, 2500, 3000, 3100, 3140, 3000, 3050,
4000, 4040, 4050, 5310 and the 6000 are known to have faulty dc
connectors...if your Magellan gps is not charging or will not power up, its most likely the dc power port...
You can get it repaired, here
Or buy the port here
If you need further help, just let me know.
