Where to buy one?

I have mislaid mine, without a means of getting leccy in the thing it's just a useless trinket...

Best price I've found so far online is £25 though!
Anyone found a cheaper option?

The retail price for them is £19.99 - any shop with a Madison account can get you one. (assuming you mean... http://www.madison.co.uk/products/cycling/electronics/gps/usb-charging-clip-for-edge-20-25/ )

When I said £25 that was posted, can't find anywhere flogging them online that doesn't charge p+p garmins own site was a little better at £22.48 but still.

£20 is still pretty steep for a cable, anyone know which pin/contact is which, I would happily 'hack' my own adapter if I had that little snippet of information...

Just checked mine with a multimeter, if you hold the usb cable above the garmin clip so that the contact pins face each other, they map accordingly.

So from left to right:

VBUS / D- / D+ / GND

Correct?
