An outside power "brick" or plugging into ships power solves that problem but it is one more cable to keep neat.
Much neater cockpit without paper charts stuffed here and there. And no trying to refold a sectional while the Pitts decides which way to spiral...
I did have an older Garmin 196 as a backup.
Best of luck,
