Garmin Mini USB Cable: Compact and Versatile Charging Cable for All Devices Review

I liked the product, I could update my Garmin with it, but thought I could use it in the car via a USB connection. I found this breaks the instructions.

It's frustrating that none of the mini USB Bs work with my Garmin GPS. I have another cable that can transfer photos from the camera but inexplicably doesn't work with Garmin. This cable works and appears to be well made

Looks like a factory cable, works perfectly. Same price. Received faster than Garmin could send me one. The local dealer only sells the entire unit, no cables

Garmin cables seem to be the only cables that transfer data between your Garmin and your PC. Of course, that means Garmin can charge you more for less. Yes, for own equipment. The product I received works and allowed me to update my GPS which is good. The item pictured is not what I received. The one I received was only a foot long and had no RF shielding (weird lightbulb on one end of the cable) as shown in the picture. I can't use this cable to charge my GPS while driving because it's too…

There were other cables from the previous Garmin and none of them worked, the computer didn't recognize the Garmin unit. When I received this cable it was obvious that it was different from the others. I connected it to the Garmin device, connected it to the computer and the detection was automatic. Thanks for a great product.

Okay, this thing works, but I have to "trick" my Garmin by first plugging it into power (wired) and then into my computer for it to be recognized. I'm sure the device is fully charged, but I have yet to do it. I don't know why it is so difficult to update my Garmin device.
