Fitted Cigarette Ligher Outlet for GPS?
Has anyone here installed a cigarette light outlet to power a GPS?
..and, how would I mount the GPS?
There's next to no room around the cockpit and i'm clueless on how to attach an "arm" to affix a gps for touring. There's not really a lot of room anywhere.
Any recommendations and/or pictures?
Thanks!

There's a specially designed "arm" to mount a GPS
Yes, but fit a cig lighter unit with a rubber cover to keep the water out. It can be fitted in the LHS fuse box cover, or pretty much anywhere.
See Tony Dillworth's article (and others) on GPS fitment:

Plenty of history on this if you're keen. Do a search.

Heres my Mount (With a nokia e61 in it)
It will be going up on ebay next week as I have ordered a TomTom Rider Which uses (and is supplied with) the same type of mount google RAM MOUNT
As for power supply i have just had these delivered
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=300284164198
I have yet to decided where to mount them
I would also strongly recomend that you follow the instructions here

to give yourself a readly available ignition on power source tapping point (I have already done this bit)

rofl
thats the MEDIUM aquabox mate - they do a medium WIDE version as well as a large
works very well though - I was worried about handling / vibration etc but was assured by someone on here that it wasnt a problem and they were right
If I was the kind of person that had got his bike up to 150mph OR up on the back wheel then i would be able to say that it remains as steady as a rock
