Which Garmin model? I don't know if they all use the same connector. The old RS232 models certainly didn't.

According to this discussion, you shouldn't need a special Garmin cable. (But obviously you will have to us a cable that fits off something else, for example from a phone.)

Which reminds me ... I have lost the USB cable for my digital camera!

Sounds like you need someone to donate a cable then. You could always offer to pay their postage ...

True for data transfer.

In some models you do however need different cables.

There are some cables with the data pins disconnected that charge only. If you use a normal cable then the unit it goes into computer as opposed to charge mode.
