Patch cord to charge and transfer data

I recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 3790LMT upgrading from a Nuvi 750. I would like to use the cord from the 750 and was wondering if a mini to micro patchcord was available that would both charge and handle data to the 3790.

I also have an ac adaptor for the 750 can the same cord, if availble be used with it. Thank you.

No Icons, only little black dots, Nuvi 50LM

I recently downloaded all the Favorites from my daughter's old 660 GPS into MapSource, and with her help deleted duplicates, old waypoints, etc. We then assigned appropriate icons to all of the remaining waypoints.

Sears make deal of 199$ for 3790T

Just in case, if you don't know.
Sears make a new deal for 3790T
It's only 199$
Does someone has idea, why it's so low!

Garmin shuts off when selecting entry from Extra POI File

After some comparing of one of the files in question (Historical Naval Ships in GPX format), I discovered that the entries causing the shutdown had longer descriptive data listed. I converted the GPX file to CSV and found that My Garmin 1300 was shutting down abruptly when selecting certain entries listed in a POI File from my Custom POIs in the Extras option.

Routing Date in Nuvi 1300 Update to V5.80

I just updated my Nuvi 1300 to V5.80. Prior to the update my display showed 4 boxes on the right-hand side allowing me to choose among Estimated Time of Arrival, Distance To Destination, Estimated Time To Destination, Direction of Travel, Elevation, and Time of Day.

Custom POIs not showing up

Tonight I just re-added my Custom POIs to my StreetPilot and they loaded as they normally do. When selecting Custom POIs under Where To and selecting one of my categories (Dunkin Donuts as an example) it says "No Matches Found".

"Honey, I shrunk my Nuvi 650 memory" (... or HELP !!!)

I have a Nuvi 650 that I bought new in 2008 and it's served me well since then. However, it was getting a bit 'long in the tooth' as far as recent information like roads, POI's, etc, so I thought I take a plunge and get a map-update rather than buy a new unit (though they are sooo tempting, but $$$ is tight).

Ghost speed traps

I load only the Redlight cam file and verified more than once that the file contains only Redlightm but my nuvi continues to alert me of Speed Traps...cannot find them...probably from previous installation.

I even went ahead and delete the Current.gpx. Things did not help.

Please help. where do I begin to invest why, and the fix.

Home on the Menu Bar

On my Garmin 3490, every so often this HOME pops up on the menu bar and shows the amount of miles to home, which I do not want, I was able to disable it once, anyone know how to disable it permanently. I prefer to have the individual streets show up as I approach them.

Unstable USB connection

Whenever I connect my Nuvi 765t to the computer (Windows XP SP3) by USB port, I have to spend 15-20 minutes trying to get it to work. Eventually it works, but usually after a number of connects/disconnects.

How do I create a GPX file with Phone Numbers

I just got a Nuvi 2460lmt. I would like to create a GPX file so I may use the dialer and blue tooth. I have a database that has all the info in a csv format. Is there a program that can create a gpx file from this about 2500 names and addresses.
Also is it possible to save it as extra's not as favorites.

1. convert a csv file to gpx with phone #'s
2. Save it in my Extra' as Custom POIs
