Nuvi 250 update

Aside from a DVD update disk, what hardware, i.e., like connectors, wires, etc. are needed to download the updates from my PC to the nuvi 250 GPS device?

Thanks,

Pilotdiaz

connect sat nav to pc

If your o/s is Vista drivers load automatically. You only need a USB 2 cable to connect to PC.

Update using Mac OSX

I know it says PC in the original post but I thought I would put in here that I have done the update on a Mac running OSX with no troubles.

All I needed was a mini USB cable...

And my GPS device :)
