Hi all,
I have recently upgraded my Mac to Sequoia 15.3.1 and the Mac Mini no longer has options to use the supplied Garmin 590 USB A with (I think) USB mini cable. Unfortunately, connection is not possible using a hub that has all the older slots. What I now need for any future updates is a USB mini to USB C cable. Have any of you folk had the same issue and how did you source the appropriate cable?
Thanks in advance.

The USB socket on the 590 takes a micro USB plug. A query in any search engine for "micro USB to USB C" or "USB A to USB C" should find many cord or adapter options.

Enormous thanks Ikraus,
Yeah, I did that search, bought the cable and no joy. Perhaps it was not the cable for data transfer? The search continues.
Best wishes

My new Lenovo laptop only has one USB A port. The rest are USB C ports. My wireless mouse dongle occupied the USB A port so I purchased a USB C to multiport USB A hub. I can then use the Garmin cable to connect my XT, as well as the numerous other external devices I own that have USB A cables.
