What kind of connector do I need to connect my Garmin to my 2020 Macbook Air?

I want to get map updates on my Garmin Novi but the connecting wire that came with the Garmin does not connect to the inputs on my laptop. What do I need?

Garmin Navman 6 is not recognised by my 2020 MacBook Pro with M1 Chip Has anyone had issues with USB connectivity with M1 chipped MacBook Pros. My Garmin Navman 6 is not recognised by my 2020 MacBook Pro with M1 Chip. Works with Intel chipped MacBook Air. Looks like I may have to exchange my new Pro for an older model which seams a bit of a retrograde step. Had my Pro to my local Apple Genius Bar and they were unable to connect my satnav to M1 chipped MacBooks but had no problems connecting to intel chipped MacBook Airs. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

What's the Connector?:

If it connects via USB-A, then this is what you are looking for: USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple
