Okay.

I have a used bike that still has the old Garmin Zumo 550 Power Cable installed.

I also have an old Garmin Nuvi 255W that uses a Mini USB for a power cable.

Is there any converter plug that would plug into the old Zumo power cable and convert to the Mini USB power cable?

I have already installed the 255W in a techmount / ram mount but the power cable is a cigarette type plug and of course vibrated out every 20 minutes or so.

Put your GPS plug in the "cigarette lighter" port and then jam a toothpic into the gap, then grab the part of the toothpic that still sticks out and break it off...
 
Your plug won't wiggle out anymore, it's a cheap and easy fix, this is what I did for my radar detector plug and it works great...  :thumbs:

I lined the inside of my socket with a small strip of velcro "fuzzy part" works like a charm. :thumbs:
