The unit should be supplied with a docking cradle or PC connection cable, if this component is missing you could use the car cradle with a mini USB lead connected to the PC - Mike

Recent versions don't appear to come with the dock anymore. When i was working for an electronics retailer recently the contents of the empty shelf boxes where locked away. None of the x50s had the cradle.

Also at Halfords

Even TomTom don't supply the desktop dock any more - here for non x10 devices

The TomTom GO Connect Cable replaces the desktop dock for x40, x50 and other devices...

I was thinking he meant there was no WINDSCREEN dock. Embarassed

AFAIK, the Gox50's never came with a PC dock, just a cable.

thanks all, i have now done it using the windscreen mount.
all updated, camera's too ( from here of course )
now to get the very latest map. and i think the subscribed maps work out cheaper. i would not get a unit from fleabay. i got mine from tesco. thank you all for your replies.
