Missing USB Port in Garmin 2360

I bought a Garmin 2360LT 30/12. Due a number of hiccups Garmin offered to replace it. Subsequently I exchanged today(02/1) the original for another 2360LT.
Strangely the replacement has only 1 USB port which is a micro USB port. The original had two a micro and a normal mini USB port??? I now cannot charge the unit using a Garmin 240volt charger as it has the normal mini USB male fitting. This means I cannot charge the GPS unless it is charged by the car.
How many USB ports should I have on this model?

Are you sure it's different on the unit itself?

According to the manual for that series, there is a mini USB on the mount and a micro USB on the device itself

This is the same as on some recent TomTom models. There seems to be a move to standardise on micro-USB in the future and this is the first stage.

Thanks Andy, much appreciated. Seems the original example I had was an interim version with a mini and micro socket in the body of the device. You have nailed the answer to the problem. All I have now to do is bring the mount and GPS to the house and connect to the 240 volt charger IF the battery needs charging this way.

You could also try a search on Google, Amazon or eBay for "mini to micro usb adapter". They are only a couple of pounds.

Make sure you get one going from mini to micro though! The other way round seems more common.

Thanks, I had a browse and found nothing in ebay or Amazon. No great effort to bring in the unit and charge at 240V on occasion.
