Are there any GPS systems that don’t require the cigar outlet in your car?

I don’t know if there are automotive GPS systems that operate on AA or AAA batteries. They typically use a rechargeable lithium ion battery, but you can use either the 12V cigarette lighter in the car or AC charger at home. The advertised battery life is usually 5-8 hours depending on the model, so if your trips are shorter than that, you can pre-charge at home and not need a cigarette lighter outlet.
For example you can check on this Garmin product page: . Choose the model and click on the “Specs” tab. It will show you the battery type and life expected.
My uncle has one that is hand held. It was very cool.
It loooked like this.
Shop around, I’m sure you’ll find one you like!
