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.

Using a powered USB adaptor rectified problems with my MBP not recognising my devices. Purchased a RSHTECH 4 USB port powered adaptor from Amazon and now have no issues with connectivity. Disappointing that this is required on a new MacBook Pro.
