Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin USB Cable
Customer Review: just a standard USB cable?
Summary: 4 Stars
After comparing this cable to others in my collection, I think it may be a generic USB A-mini-B cable, which would be available for less from a good computer discount warehouse. I gave this one only 4 stars because the mini-B end will bend if the Garmin is moved while the cable has no slack. However, this may be a fault of the mini-B design and not the cable per se. Overall, I am well satisfied with this purchase.Customer Review: No choke
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a cable from a marketplace vendor because of better price. Although the "official" item is Garmin branded, the one provided clearly is not. Looks well made and it works, but it does not have a choke. Fits my GPS case better without the choke. No choke might be a consideration if the cable will be used where there is significant electromagnetic interference (EMI).Customer Review: Worked as expected
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first purchased my Nuvi 255W I tried connecting to my PC using a USB cable I already had that was for another GPS receiver. I was able to charge the Nuvi but I could not get my PC to recognize it and do updates to the unit. After receiving this cable I had no problems at all connecting and updating my Nuvi. Guess it goes to show that not all USB cables are the same.Customer Review: Nothing fancy here
Summary: 2 Stars
It is ludicrous that the manufacturer of a GPS device that requires computer updates does not include in the purchase package a USB cable, but Garmin does not. The one available online is nothing fancy -- just a simple cable with standard connectors. If you can find one less expensive that does not carry the Garmin name, buy it.Customer Review: Works but not the same as original
Summary: 2 Stars
The original cable received with Garmin GPS product has a filter between the two ends. The cable delivered doesn't so the cable received is a generic cable rather than the cable supplied with the Garmin product. It works and so far, the lack of the filter has not damaged the Garmin device but I am still nervous when I use it.
