I don't recall if this has come up before, but I have had problems connecting my Nav V to a USB-C-based Mac. This goes for both the recent Intel MacBook Pros with USB-C and the new Apple Silicon M1 MacBook Pros. I have tried every cable and USB adapter in my extensive collection. The only adapter I have found that works is the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. That part is $69. Fortunately my wife happened to have one for her little 1-port Mac laptop.
The plain $19 USB-A to USB-C adapter does not work, nor do any of the myriad other adapters or cables I tried, including a new direct USB-C to microUSB-A cable I just bought.
I know it is standard practice to blame Apple for problems like this, but Garmin products are the only things I have problems getting to work with my Macs via USB.
In any case, I hope this might save someone else some frustration.
Cheers, Ken
