Can I turn it on as a pedestrian, ie, without access to the car charger!

Yes. It has an internal battery that will operate for a few hours. I have never timed its life outside the car. I find this feature convenient to use to pre-program routings before I leave home. It can be recharged thru the car outlet, or from a computer with the supplied cord.

yes it could be used for pedestrian.. it must be fully charged first.. the built in battery only last about 20 minutes. for every full charged..

Yes, there is a power button on the top. It has a fairly good battery life when charged but you'll need a charger once its depleted. But there are many times I use it without plugging it into the car.

Yes you can. There is a hatch like door on the bottom that you open for the charger!

You just need to be able to turn the ignition on without turning the car on

You have to manually turn the switch on. Otherwise it will just be charging and not on

Yes you can...You can open the small covering on the connection point when you want to charge with the case on..

Doesn't have to be if you have a bunch of D cell batteries. Other option is to use the cigarette lighter adapter that comes with it.

Yes you can as long as the car is running. It will not charge if the ignition is off! it uses no more power than a phone charger and heats up nice, not too hot like some!

Yes. You can use it and charge it at the same time. I leave mine on charge in my auto continuously while I am driving. Works well that way. I never have to touch it.

Not with the plug it comes with. I'm sure if you find an AC plug that goes into the car charger you could do it.

Yes you can, when I do I make sure the batt case is on after plugging it in, just make sure to push button on so the lights are lit and the phone charge bolt icon is on iPhone on top right corner

Yes. You absolutely can. I use it while I'm traveling and it is the only charger I use while traveling. I found on a couple rare occasions I had the device switched on and it didn't automatically turn itself off and didn't accept the charge from the wall. Most of the time I don't have this issue and it recharges the battery as well as my connected phone and other devices.

You can, but its a slower charger so you would need to leave it on all the time but it will work

no, plugs into your lighter port. unless your lighter port does not stay on if your is not running.

Yes, the connector is behind a small flap on the back edge. There is also a small switch that needs to be turned on and off there as well. There is also a car charger available also which is handy if your on a multi-day trip with no power.

yes, you can......however I notice a buzzing sound when its plugged in. charging is so quick that keeping plugged in is unnecessary

There is pedestrian mode. My husband used this in NY city this past week to walk around town. I didn't ask for details but he seemed happy with its functionality.

I've been able to do it. Just make sure it's fully charged (as in straight off the plug) before you do it.
