Worked as expected
When I firstborn 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 capable 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 difficulties at all connecting and updating my Nuvi. Guess it goes to show that not all USB cables are the same.
