To be pedantic, are you looking for a mini USB plug (male) or socket (female).

I would suggest you stick with something like RollaMo suggested as it is easy enough to get a USB / mini USB lead and then you can use it to charge other devices in future

Its the same thing I run my Nuvi from. The small black box converts 12v to 5v's, and has the small male USB on the other end. Its a hard wire set up from Garmin, less than 20 bux. You can even get them from ebay.

If you check www.mountguys.com they will have a power cable for your unit; which is what you need to hard wire it to the bike. I just did a Garmin that way and I know they carry them for TomTom too.
