Automotive GPS with user-replacable batteries

Is there such a thing? Most reviews I've read indicate that that GPS
systems come with non-user replacable batteries.

TIA!

The Garmin zumos have a user replaceable Li-Ion battery pack. There may
be some of the other models that do too. You can use the product

I'm surprised to read that there are any systems with non-replaceble
batteries at all! What's the advantage of that?
What's next? Cars with non-replaceble batteries??

Advantage ... for us, customers, NONE whatsoever. For the GPS manufacturer,
they want customers to return their unit to the factory for battery
replacement, at a cost, of course. There are ways around if one is
comfortable taking the system apart to take the old battery out and solder
the connection to a fresh battery that you can buy for around USD $50.
Admittedly, I have no idea what Garmin charges ... but I have no doubt that
it's significantly more than $50.

Cheers!

P.S. If you come across a good GPS with user-replaceable batteries, please
let us know.

My StreetPilot III had a six-pack of AA batteries that I could and did
replace as necessary. My 2730 has no batteries at all.
