Question Aftermarket GPS owners, questions on your setup..

Just curious about those who have an aftermarket GPS unit installed in their coupe. I picked up a Garmin Nuvi 760 last night and am curious about where to put it. I think it would look good on top of the center console lid, similar to where factory nav would be. But I would love to see pics of what those of you out there have done.

I have also found a solution to the cigarette outlet. I cant stand the looks of the giant power adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Not to mention the wire hanging down off my dash. I was going to hard wire it but found out if your GPS has the FM traffic updates you absolutely have to have the klunky cigarette adapter plugged in. I usually cut off the plug and just run the wire into the fuse box. However the physical plug itself is the receiver for FM traffic updates. I decided to hard wire a seperate cigarette lighter under the dash so i can still plug it in normally but have it hidden away:

I just need to figure out where I want to mount the unit so i can decide where to tap the new plug...
