Chippychap - have you sorted the problem yet? I've just seen a post on gpsreview where someone changed their cable a couple of months back and the unit (quite a modern one, but not a Garmin) worked ok until recently but now has developed severe problems.
It might be complete coincidence of course but ... take care, if you are still thinking about it I guess.

The USB lead was a fiver so not a deal breaker.
I'll give 'em one more go today, cos I need me bulb, then I'll have a go at Maplins where the staff, I've always found, are helpfull and knowledgeable.

MUCH obliged for that one David.

You can use data cable. There are different types of data cables are available on internet with all information . It depends on your GPS type which type do you use?. Such as Nuvi 360 GPS, Nuvi 360 310 GPS, Nuvi 370 GPS. etc.

Thank you for that.
I assumed data cables, USB to little trapezium shaped plugs, were like scarts, configured differently according to use.
I've seen 'em on fleabay for a couple of quid but, if recent reports are accurate and Garmin are having issues with downloading, I'll get a Nuvi one for a fiver.
I'm just assuming problems down the road and wish to deflect accusations of me using wrong cable.
Halfords didn't end up with my money. I asked about fitting of a headlamp bulb and he said "I've not had me dinner yet" if hecan't handle a bulb he ain't getting the commission for a sat nav.
It's less hassle to buy a s#dding A to Z. 
Upshot is that I have a shed-load of data cables but I'll get the Nuvi one.
Thank you.
