People tend to take the off when not in use, either for esthetic/visibility reasons or so that no one breaks into the car to steal it (probably no longer common), so you don't wanna fiddle with cables for a quick trip somewhere unfamiliar. Also you may not have enough power outlets, so rather than have to decide whether to navigate or charge your phone you can unplug it for a bit and give your phone some juice.I don't really understand why satnavs have batteries to begin with. They're supposed to be plugged in, that's how it works.
