I bought one of these cables for my Nuvi 350 to OT2m:

Which I assume would provide data connectivity between the TNC and the Nuvi.   
But how do I power the Nuvi?  Do I need to have two wires to the Nuvi at all 
times?  One for the power, and one for the data?  I know it is possible to do 
that, but seems like just extra cabling.  

Also if I extend the data cable to the trunk (where I am mounting the TNC) can 
I just do that with a long 15 foot serial cable?  I assume that will not be a 
problem.  Just more cables to buy.

By the way, Radio Shack is selling refurbished Nuvi 350s for $109, get them 
while they last.

Also bought this cable:

I thought this would work to power the OT2m TNC, via the cigerette lighter, but 
not sure, as I need to check the power connections for the TNC, via the Nuvi 
data port on the TNC.
