Has anyone had success using a tablet to connect to the Garmin? I'm looking at buying a Hudl2, and hoping that I can use the micro-usb port it has to connect to my Garmin 705 to upload routes to it, and download rides to Strava etc.

I've read that perhaps the power output of the tablet would not be sufficient to allow connectivity with the Garmin. Has anyone tried something similar?

Have done this using an edge 800 and an Acer Iconia, also tried it with my galaxy S4.
Both had enough power to allow file management using ES file explorer.
My cubot gt72 could not power the garmin.

Perfect, that's pretty much what I want to do.

Is there a specific usb cable you use (presumably a double ended mico one?) just had a quick google and there aren't many I can see
