A:AnswerI had the same problem with my new unit; the unit would operate in the car with a standard USB but it wouldn't charge the battery to allow it to run cordless unless it was charged with an original GARMIN cable. Also, the 'Traffic' feature only worked when using the OEM cable (cool feature which notifies you of accidents or other emergency info on the route you've programmed in). The cables are generally available at Garmin retailers but you'll probably get a better deal on a used one!
