I'm back to using the cable that came with my Nuvi250 and it's working. The
one labeled Garmin makes it think it's attached to the computer. So
technically I'm back on track but the rain is slowing down my caching.

I've got a 350 and I can use either the Garmin Nuvi car charger or my cell
phone charger but either one MUST be plugged into the adaptor that snaps on
the back of the Nuvi for mounting to the dash mount. Plugging either of the
chargers into the mini USB on the side puts the GPS into data mode, just
like using the USB cable that plugs into the PC to transfer.
Of course yours may work differently.
