Replacement for 650

I have an old Nuvi 650 that has served me well. I want to upgrade but I need
a model that will accept the flat snap in plug that the 650 used. It is not
a USB type.
The reason is I have mine hard wired on my motorcycle & don't want to
reroute a new cable. Way too much work.
Any ideas?

If that is the only restriction then why not make a small adapter using
the plug you already have wired to a socket of your choice?

Yes, or search for "mini usb adapter" or "micro usb adapter". I believe
the nüvi 650 power/sync cable has a Mini Male USB plug on the device
end. You'd be looking for an adapter with a Mini Female USB connector
for your existing cable on one end and a male plug on the other end
that is compatible with your new GPS unit. Try Google and eBay; the
adapter should be less than $10.

On the 650, when the USB port has a cable attached, the unit goes into
computer sync mode & will not function as a GPS.
