Since I'm planning to take a long road trip this summer, I broke down and got the ProVoice upgrade for my 536HP and installed the unit in my car. I already had the GPS puck, so I mounted it on the lower part of the central console of the car.
Question 1: Is it OK to leave the GPS plugged in to the cigarette lighter indefinitely, without fear of draining down the battery? I imagine that its current draw is very small.
Question 2: Is there a more inventive way to power the GPS puck than using the cigarette lighter that it comes with? I wish that Uniden had found a way to power the GPS puck via the scanner itself, instead of requiring an external 12V power supply.
