Wiring in a GPS Power Dupply - F650 Funduro
hiya folks
i hope you can help - I've got a Touratech GPS mount that supplies power to my unit and I was wondering where it was best to hard wire the supply to on the bike? Do i go for a permanent feed? or an ignition switched feed? If so - in either case where do they actually exist on the bike that are easy to get to? Many thanks, Tony NB: it's a 1995 BMW F650 Funduro.....

I wired my Garmin GPS staight to the Battery using the car mount it came with & a home made bike mount . Just added a in line fuse to be on the safe side.

We decided against hardwiring and put a 12V plug, ignition switched, on the bike instead. We then took a 12v fastcharger and it does 4 AAs (4-6 days hard use) at a time in superquick time and we dont have to leave the GPS for the african children to play with everytime we leave the bikes!

Still wondering...
Hiya
thought about both of those options but I figure there must be a sensible place that has an easy to access ignotion switched wire that is PRE-FUSE so I can tap into it and put the connection and in-line fuse in so that it isn't piggy backing of another fuse... Suggestions? Tony.

Hi,
I think most are around 5V as that's USB voltage, if you have a FUSED car lighter socket on the bike then use that that what I have, then get a USB converter (socket to standard USB) handy for Camera, Phones, GPS etc. As I rule of thumb I only use the Socket during daytime as I don't want to put extra strain on my Battery, what with running Dual HID lights and Heated Grips at night.

Hard
Hard wire to battery, fused of course, and a switch on the dash to isolate it.
Or make up something like a power-plate to run all your odds and sods off several here: ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Motorcycle Accessories from California Sport Touring, Inc. John
