I am driving a lot and therefore need Sygic Mobile Maps, which dramatically reduces battery life. Carrying a second battery is unpractical. My phone can charge battery via USB Data Connection, but refuses to load from usual wall or car charger. Now is there a way to cheat on my phone and "emulate" a USB Data connection? Or is there a better solution?

Still hoping to find some answers...
