Mini-usb charger?

Since my Nuvi 660 uses a mini-usb port which is fairly standard across many devices today, I tried hooking it up to my Motorola phone v3m car charger. It seems to charge okay, but I don't get any GPS functionality while doing so because the Nuvi thinks it's connected to a computer (the data connection logo comes up).
Does anyone know of ways around this? Alternatively, what mini-usb chargers not specific to these units are compatible with GPS function?
Since I have so many mini-usb chargers, it would be nice to be able to re-use them.

Go into test mode, (hold your finger on the power icon in the top right corner for about five seconds or so) and then attach the charger, and exit test mode......

I had to unplug the usb and then immediately plug it back in for it to work. You might try that...

Never tried it, but what
Never tried it, but what happens if you plug it into the cradle rather then the unit itself, or is that what you did?
