Need Help With Hardwiring GPS To 1100

I love you guys!! Every time I come back here, there's more advice and more options to choose from!

I'm glad that you all don't charge for advice or ideas!!

There are plenty of inexpensive adapters that plug into a cigar lighter socket and convert 12 v to 5v with a female USB socket.

+1 I'd look for one that has at least one 2.1A USB port. It'll definitely handie your GPS and charge a phone should you use one. I've got a couple that have two 2.1A ports and one USB/DIN (powerlet) socket with the same rating but it was more expensive than a cigarette lighter version.

So you could just wire a cigar lighter socket that is switchable and have it to use for other stuff as needed.
If you do, I highly recommend the Marinco line (marine grade) that have weather covers built in.

Uncle Phil's recommendation gets my vote. You can usually count on an Old Guy's experience.
