No way to get around the 12V battery issue. It is required but used right it could last you the three days on one charge. I use a fish finder to mainly look for fish, once I find them I then pay less attention to the finder unless I am jigging, then it is really nice to put the jig in front of the fish.
You can use the Navionics app separate from the finder so the tpod will still work for you. It says it only works for 4hrsb though constant use.
With that being said I would find the fish switch over to the navionics App mark the spot and really circle around the area and get you some good marks. turn off the fishfinder and use the map to move from spot to spot.
If you decide to bare the weight of 12V battery and you update your maps, I did purchase Navionics+ 4.99 a year, and advanced map options One time purchase. What this does for you is when you map a lake it syncs and you can see it on the web app at home.
