Digital camera reviews of Garmin USB Cable
Digital camera Review: Does everything it's supposed to.
Summary: 5 Stars
This cable does everything it is supposed to do. Necessary for getting software and map updates from Garmin.Digital camera Review: Does not fit my nuvi!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this usb cable in order to be able to update my Garmin nuvi 255w through my computer. Firstly I have to mention that I had to cut open the clam shell packaging, so this definately was not the frustration free packaging that was promised by amazon (although it could have been worse). And then I went to plug it into my nuvi and it did not fit! I am very disappointed because when I searched I specifically put in "garmin nuvi 255w usb cable". Low and behold that is not what I got. Hope this helps!Digital camera Review: Equal quality vs. Named quality
Summary: 5 Stars
After searching local Garmin product availability, I turned to Amazon. I found this product that works as well as Radio Shack's at 12 times the price. This product worked as well as Garmin's at 5 times the price. Great value and equal quality. Shipping was fast too.Digital camera Review: Exactly the right USB cable, at almost half the price Garmin wants for it
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that it is a shame that Garmin doesn't include this with their nuvi line - at least a USB didn't come with my 255W. That being said, one can then protest by not buying the USB cable directly from Garmin (at the ridiculous price of $14.99 at their website - and who knows if they charge tax and shipping).
This type of USB cable probably can be bought even cheaper elsewhere, but beware - sometimes cheaper is good, but sometimes cheaper is not good, or even comparable.
For those wondering if you even need a USB cable, you do if you want to download extras and map updates. You can also charge the GPS unit's batteries by having it hooked up to your computer.
Digital camera Review: Exactly what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I just wanted to be able to plug my Garmin into my computer rather than only using the car charger. This does just that
