I mean, I've got devices with a few different types of charging ports, so I just have one or two of each on my workbench near the outlet where I charge those devices.
Mine was sarcastic. Did you look at their advertising photo? It goes from computer USB-C to an Apple adaptor with USB-A so that the Trek supplied USB-A-to-USB-C cable can plug into the USB-C port on the radar.
(Trek should at least also supply a USB-C to USB-C cable, so you could simply plug one cable in between the radar and the laptop or USB-C power supply.)
USB-C does, however, have one huge advantage: The port is not directional. You don't have to try 3 times to get it right (yeah, I know you should only have to try twice, but reality bytes.)
