Cigarette Lighter for Garmin GPS

Hello everyone, just want to say thanks for your help on previous questions I had on my 2011 Class C Thor Four Winds.
Can I plug my Garmin GPS into the cigarette lighter? My wife thinks it would heat up the GPS plug. Is that true?

Nope. All that it will do, is provide the necessary power to run the GPS.

Thanks, just wanted to be sure we didn't destroy the GPS or cause a fire.

Just remember one thing: there are NO foolish questions.
But there are some answers, that didn't fully explain things!

The cigarette lighter gets hot because of the heating element. The outlet provides 12 volt dc
