my garmin 760 did the same thing breaking at the power supply connector on the cradle. Its less than 3 months old. Great GPS, bad design. Garmin should sell just the cradle without the suction cup mount. Who wants to pay 40-50 dollars for the whole mount when all you need is the cradle.

The 710 does save the track, and you can just copy it yourself to your computer.
When you connect the GPS, it shows up as a drive in your computer. Just copy the file:
\Garmin\GPX\current.gpx
I don’t know how far back it saves the track, but it save a point in the track every 1 to 20 seconds (depending on how straight you are moving).
Works pretty flawless.
There is also website doing track download and analyzing services (some for free) at http://www.motionbased.com
I think it has been bought by Garmin (or maybe it always was), because they seem to be planing to integrate it more in their services.

You can’t see it on My Computer / Windows Explorer?
Are you connecting the nuvi with the power off? If not, give it a try.
Otherwise, I would (1) exchange it or (2) call Garmin support. They are pretty responsive.
