Can the 3590 LMT be powered directly from the micro-USB port on the device INSTEAD the cradle, or is the micro-USB port ONLY used for PC connections?

If connected from device itself it can be charged and run. When connected to a computer it also is seen as a drive. The cradle has a built in speaker that is much louder however. The connection to the device is a micro usb, the cradle is a mini usb.

Yes, the micro USB port can be used to power ( and charge) the device when it is off of the cradle.

Bill No it will not. The cradle will charge only. the only other port in the back is an auxiliary port that you can plug into any 3.5mm source and listen to music/audio

not sure what you mean by usb jack, but it does have a micro usb connector through which it can be powered (and programmed).

This unit can ONLY be charged thru 30 pin apple cable, no micro usb. I use it to make my old apple dock become a bluetooth speaker. you can also use 3.5mm audio cable connect to other device and make it a bluetooth, it rely on internal battery.

It's a mini port, but it comes with cable converter from mini to standard, so if you wish you can connect standard usb using the provided cable

It's easier to use when in the cradle because it's propped up. If you only want to charge the cell then plugging directly is fine.

Yes. Instead of plugging the power source directly into the GPS, you plug it into the mount. The 3590 then is plugged into the mount. You use the push bar at the bottom to remove it. This way you don't have to plug and unplug the GPS each time. You only have to set it into the mount and click it into the top. The mount has a speaker in it also. The 3590, in addition to the connection with the mount, also has a micro-USB input so it can be plugged directly into a computer to update the maps, etc.

The power cord plugs into the mount/speaker portion of the bracket. So the speaker technically is powered by the cord, not the 3590LMT. If you use the 3590LMT out of the mount, the GPS has its own speaker. The speaker on the mount is larger and louder than the GPS on board speaker. The on board speaker is silent when the GPS in mounted.

Do you mean using the cradle? Not that I know of. I plug mine in to the micro USB to charge it.

Checking the specs of the LG L90, it shows it only has a microUSB v2.0. It doesn't say that it is slimport compatible. Plus, according to the comment below by Joseph Merrill, the L90 is not included on the list of devices that has slimport. So most-likely, the L90 will not work with this device.

The USB is output only, not input. You can use that port for charging devices with an already charged battery. For instance, I charged my iPhone during a power outage. Pretty handy, but it doesn't work the other way.

It can be powered used via usb. But I wouldn't recommend it because it's possible you could burn out the internal battery

Hey Bobbbo: I just plugged a 1 TB drive into the Micro 2. It gets its power from the USB, not external power and it's working fine. So you should be fine doing what you want. btw, I'm very happy with the unit too.

There is a miniUSB to dual USB cord that comes with it, which uses the power from the PC. It's a little longer than I'd like it to be, so I suppose you can substitute a shorter one. Not sure what the dual USB end would be for...

Yes it is micro-USB. It supposed to supply power to the device(s) plugged into full USB ports

I don't see how it could, that said. Your pc will charge it, so you shouldn't need the dock when it's connected to the pc.

You cannot, at least not with the cradle I have. I am also looking for a compatible external charger.
