Overview
The Garmin 010-11478-01 is a USB-A to Micro-USB cable used to connect compatible Garmin electronics to a computer for software updates and data transfer. The cable is 3.28 ft (1 m) long and uses a USB 2.0 connection for routine update and file-sync tasks.
On a boat, this is a straightforward way to move routes, tracks, and waypoints between your computer and a compatible unit when you are doing trip planning at the nav station. The Micro-USB end is the small, flat connector, so it is worth confirming your device uses Micro-USB and not mini-USB or USB-C.
Key features
- USB-A (computer) to Micro-USB (device) connection for updates and file transfers
- 3.28 ft (1 m) length suits a laptop at the nav table without a big coil of extra cable
- USB 2.0 interface for stable syncing and update sessions
- Built-in ferrite choke to help reduce high and low frequency interference from nearby electronics
- Useful spare to keep in an electronics kit for trips away from the dock
Compatibility and fit
This cable fits devices with a Micro-USB port. Many Garmin products use a different connector, so check the port shape on your unit before ordering. The computer end is a standard USB-A plug; computers with USB-C only will need an adapter (not included).
Installation and setup
Plug the Micro-USB end into the device and the USB-A end into your computer. Depending on the model, the unit may appear as a removable drive for file transfer or be managed through Garmin update software for firmware and content updates. For the most reliable connection onboard, make the connection in a dry spot and keep strain off the plug if the boat is moving.

Maintenance and care
After use around saltwater, wipe the connectors and let everything dry before stowing. Avoid leaving the Micro-USB end plugged in where it can get spray or washdown water, and protect the device port with its cap when available.
