Silly question, but I'm sorry, not very tech/car savvy. I only have one cigarette lighter port in my car, which my GPS uses. I now have this dashcam but I need some sort of splitter to be able to power it along with my GPS. Do I have to get something that splits the one cig lighter port into 2 cig lighter ports, or can I get something that will split the cig lighter into cig lighter AND USB port and stick the A119S into the USB port?

Thanks!
 
I suggest you go for the 1 12v jack -> 2USB ports. Make sure you get something with 4 - 4.5A in order to cover both ports. I recommend the Anker ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00VH84L5E (i'm using several products from them - cables, external batteries, USB hub and others - and I don't have any issues).

A199S is delivered with cigarette lighter voltage converter offering two USB ports. Based on info placed on this item, it should be able to provide 3.1A.
If you can power up your GPS unit using USB cable, you can try it.
Regarding A119S product page, it drains up to 1A of 5V current. So, remaining 2A should be enough for your GPS unit, I guess.
