No excuse...

Most GPS units of any caliber has a self contained battery and an
external power source is not needed.

Its impossable to walk both ways uphill.
One of the ways has to be back down or up the hill.
Check the owners manual and see if I m right...

My car did not come with a manual; it came with an automatic.

That's true, issue is that those batteries don't last forever

and in my case, one of my main uses for it is 14 hour drives to and from NY.

Try This!

I have these installed in my cars. In the Stang it is wired to the map(GPS)lights. I have it nice and tucked in the headliner, and the plug is readily accessible as I mount my GPS in the upper left of my windshield out of the way.
