Yes, you do need to charge the unit. A cable comes with the unit for charging in a 12v automobile receptacle (i.e. cigarette lighter) You can also purchase a separate cable to use with a standard home receptacle.

The unit runs off your car's battery when you attach the cable that comes with it to the cigarette lighter. I believe it charges during this use. I think you can use it without the cable for about two hours--good for when you take it with you on a walking tour. There is a USB cable you use when you want to download changes to the map. I don't know if the unit gets charged at this time as well. The unit comes with both cables and a window mount. I ordered a weighted "pillow" mount so I could hide the unit from potential thieves when not in use. That mount sits on my dashboard and doesn't move while I'm driving. Some states have regulations regarding the mounting of the unit on the windshield. The unit runs off your car's battery when you attach the cable that comes with it to the cigarette lighter.

For my fios unit I just installed it, the system charged it on its own. For my portable compressor I did charge it after install, but it did have a charge on it as shipped.

I think you are asking where the cable comes out of the unit. If it is, the cord comes off the bottom of box/unit.

Unit must be charged to use it . You cannot plug it in and use it. Unit charges by charger magnetically connecting to Aria in front under Gray control button. Unit is seamless and does not have any charging ports

I ordered one with a cable from Amazon. Cost about $8 and the cable a few more. Works great.

there is a connector you hook to the cable inside and it has a plug on it. (cable not included. the plug connector is included)

I supposed it will charge it if it works. My unit did not get charged nor did it charge anything.

no cable comes with it. However - you can get cable anywhere - radio shack, lowes Home depot, walMart runes about 10 - 15 cents a foot - if you get a prepackaged - it will be a bit more

If this question has come to me because it's the same one I purchased, rest easy, it will include the cable. Get ready to rock!

Yes, you will need the cable. I already had one...so what you see is what you get

There is a cable attached -- but not an extra charging cable if that is what you are asking.

I'm not a cable expert, but the supplied cable appears to be a standard type and not a proprietary one. The supplied cable is rather short. One that's two or three feet long would be far more convenient for charging. At least for me ... I'm not impressed with the charging set up. Those little plugs are too fragile in my opinion. For the price of this camera a wall charger should be included! I hear it's available separately .. additional charge of course.

It uses a micro USB port to charge it. I'm sure any device that provides power to the USB will charge the unit.

Been over a year but I believe it came with the cable. I have had two of these for over a year and they are working fine.

correct. It just needs to be charged occasionally. I do it over night so no wires hanging while in use.

It's charged with a usb cable that's included. For faster charging you need to purchase usb a/c adapter.
