Garmin Edge 500 part missing

I've got a Garmin Edge 500 and I've lost the box. Pic below is all I have, what am I missing? I know I need the power plug to unit plug.

Looks like you are fine. The cable coiled in the plastic bag should be dual purpose, to plug into the AC adapter or a computer.

Just looked, no cable in the bag.

Oh, sorry I thought was a coiled cable. Looks like it was just the rubber bands to attach to stem and bars.
I'd call Garmin directly or email them thru their website. They have pretty good customer service, maybe they'll just send you one. At the very least it shouldn't be terribly expensive.

Edit to add... this is the same USB cable to update and charge your Garmin automobile GPS, I think the only difference is the length. Maybe you could source one from eBay or from a GPS store.

It's a standard USB data cable. Mini-B on one end and A on the other.

You may have five more of those USB cables lying around from other purchases. It's a standard, not proprietary to the Edge or Garmin.

Yeah, I've got an 800, I use the same cable for that and to download pictures from my camera. If you don't have one you can get it at any electronics store.
