I have decided to go with a Garman Nuvi 40LM GPS on my 2012 RT-S. I don't do alot of riding so I dont want to spend the moneu on a Zumo 660 etc.
I have purchased a wire harness that contains the mini USB plug on the one end for the GPS unit and the other end has the two wires for the connection to the battery. It also includes an in-line fuse for protection. I understand they say connect directly to the battery.
Can anyone give me advice if I should go directly to the battery or not?? What is the best way to tackle the wire installation ??
I'm thinking running the USB plug out on the lower handle bar that has that little tab that can be removed and pushed back in. Not sure what is behind this little tab??
Any comments/directions would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Riding.
