Garmin touring power lead

[steveindenmark]

If anyone has a Garmin Touring, can you tell me if the connection lead actually says Garmin on it. Im having trouble connecting and am thinking I have picked up the wrong lead.

I have a Garmin Edge 1000 and I think all those models have the same charger. This is a micro USB (same as Android phone)

see the type on the right of the attached pic

SOrry, I am wrong. It is the one on the left (called mini USB). That is what the manual says http://static.garmin.com/pumac/Edge_Touring_OM_EN.pdf

Any mini USB lead should work

when i had a Garmin touring, i could never get a PC to recognize the unit. I had to remove the memory card to transfer files. That's why i got rid of it.

I think it can cause problems with the transfer if it isnt the correct cable. Somebody else had the problem this week.

Does the correct lead have GARMIN on it?

I have had the Touring for ages and have not had trouble transferring files.

Just tried mine no go with ordinary USB fine with the Garmin one

Mine doesnt say Garmin..... it does however have a ferrite bead round the cable to reduce EMI.

I've had "issues" with data connections when using cheaper non-shielded cables = As did @ColinJ a couple of weeks ago.... believed he resolved it by getting a "proper" Garmin cable.

I use any generic mini USB cable with my Touring and it works fine.

I did fix the problem using a new cable but it wasn't a Garmin one - it was this one, a cheap generic cable bought on eBay for 99p.

I have an 800 and despite charging through any lead, only two leads that I have allow transfer of data. The pc just wont see the Garmin if I don't use them...i suspect they are damaged somehow as they used to work
