1. How easy is it to use the MPower while you are walking around? do you use
earphones or an external speaker or just read the braille display?
You use the normal speaker, it can get pretty loud. If you want to use a
headphone ok, but you will get to get a Bluetooth one and for that you need
a special adapter.
2. do you have to stop walking to enter commands?
For entering addresses etc, yes, but some things like checking you speed and
heading etc, no as you can use one hand to do this. I do at least, or did
when I had the mPower.
3. is it difficult or uncomfortable having the MPower case open while using
gps?
No, it just hangs there.
4. If you don't carry it in it's case, how do you carry it?
You have to carry it in it's case, no option...
5. If you are walking with GPS especially in a location where you don't
travel regularly or have travelled their for the first time and you need to
rely on the gps to get you from point A to point B, what do you do if it
rains unexpectedly?
Use a plastic bag as that will help protect the mPower, also, you will be
able to read the Braille through the bag.
