Can the unit be easily used hand-held and outside of the vehicle?

Frank, Yes it can. It has a internal battery and I often take it inside the house to plan a trip.

not really- it is great on the dash due to its size - conversely it is too large to carry easily - about 2 x the size of an I Phone

That is no problem.I am now in the tenth week of a western RV trip and have been using my Garmin GPS , not the Rand McNally. The RVND is too complicated to use and I have found that the mileage compilation is way off , on the high side. As I said in my review, I would not recommend it.

Not advised because the battery has a short life before being charged again. I have heard complaints about the 7710 locking up and have to be reset. I bought one and returned it for credit because it would not turn on. I bought a 7720 at the last FMCA Rally and they told me there are other glitches with the 7710. I would suggest buying the 7720 if you haven't bought one yet.

Yes it can be. However on a fully charged battery it will last about 1 hour

It can be used outside the vehicle as long as the battery is charged. We haven't had the need to do that yet so I can't tell you how long the battery lasts.

Let's you use the full functionality of the stereo. There are no prohibited uses when you are not in park.

i believe you can use it with out the gate way but you will not be able to use the feture of controlling it with you're phone or lap top

Definitely! You can place it right next to you or on the dash. Play it off your phone or I-Pad with buetooth or you can plug in a sound cord.

I do not see a problem with that. However, it can be unlocked from the outside at anytime. I would not use this for that reason.

Somewhere that is convienent and accessible. It has a bracket that is mounted with 2 sided tape and the unit slides in and then connected by 2 phone jack connectors(one for power and one to the detector). It can then be removed to use in another vehicle or to update when needed.

This unit must not be exposed to the weather. The only part that can go outside is the weather proof outlet box that you would plug the cord into.

Yes, just make sure the unit is as horizontal to the road as is possible, it comes with Velcro which works fine- but you can't remove, the unit will have to remain in place while vehicle is not attended (or Velcro will lose hold strength in two weeks time)Mine works fine w/ just velcro

Yes, and that is what I do with it when I am outdoors. The cord is long enough to hold out in front of you so you can operate it without taking it off from around your neck.

This one is not designed to go in the car. Check out the GunVault NV200 NanoVault.

While the unit does work well, I would NOT use the item in an outdoor application. It is not designed for un sheltered environments.

I think you can! But when you want to use the car's hands free you should manually select the desired speaker from the phone :)

While I am not aware of the technical specs, I do not believe that use while the passenger compartment of a vehicle is vented or air conditioned during operation would be likely to present any problem. Leaving the device attached to the window when the vehicle is parked or standing in the hot sun, on the other hand, would strike me as not being a good idea. Common sense is probably a pretty good guide here.

Yes it can be hand held but there is no special bracket that I know of to do this.

Yes you can, the cord is a little thick but if you push hard enough the glove box will close. Since I'm buying my Q5, I cut a little groove into the INSIDE of the glove box to allow it to close easier. You can't tell from from the outside of the glove box. I hope this answers your question.

Very simple, remove plastic tab in back which allows battery to work once removed. Pick a spot where you like to put in your vehicle once selected there will be a velcro strip. Peel back layer off it and stick where you want the unit placed. I suggest running external wire to outside of car before sticking to velcro. Once wire is ran properly to outside of car you are now ready to use your product :) enjoy!
