I am afraid you need to buy their cable, it has weird wiring.

The mini-B "USB" plug on the 236 is not USB at all... you can only charge with that port if you don't have the Holux USB cable.

You don't need the special USB cable from Holux, if you only want to charge it via USB. Charging will work just fine with any USB cable. You will be able to use the Bluetooth function to connect to your GPS software.

There should be a way to kill the "usb device not recognized" message for good - not sure how, but there must be a way :-).
