How about Garmin themselves?

Let's see...

Part No.  	Description  	Price
010-10203-00 	Cigarette lighter adapter 			 $39.98 	
010-10205-00 	Data Cable (bare data wires) 			 $22.85 	
010-10206-00 	PC interface cable (RS232 serial port connector) $38.00
010-10268-00 	PC interface cable with cigarette lighter 	 $50.00
010-10310-00 	USB to RS232 converter cable		 	 $59.99 

OK so thats in the USA so let's see if there is a UK source...

The Garmin website has a nice map of the world so let's click on Europe,
and then UK...

Whooooooo... hundreds of dealers many with websites. Hey what's this,
Maplin is a dealer and they have both stores all over the UK and
internet/mail order facilities.

So let's try Maplin...
	
eMap & eTrex Car/PC Lead

this lead is suitable for all garmin emap and etrex models. use the data
lead to update waypoints or maps or to take power from any 12v cigarette
lighter, or both....

35.99 inc Vat and 23 in stock.

I think that's a solution to your problem.

Time to find a cable in the world... 1min 12secs
Time to find a cable in the UK...    2min 48secs
