If you have a newish ('04 and later?) FLSTC, there is a switched power source available. On the fuse block cover, you will see a 2 Amp fuse location marked P&A with a dashed line around it. You can pry the fuse block up enough to get a wire with the male fuse terminal into the underside of the block. The part should be available from HD or NAPA. Hook the GPS positive to the wire. Then hook the GPS negative to the ground bus.
Just me, but I don't favor inserting a GPS up to an always hot power source.

I have a TOMTOM 910 and the windshield mount attaches securely to the glass of the speedo. You cannot see the speedo but GPS shows your speed. I attached a safety lanyard just in case the suction cup decided to let loose, but I've never had any problems.

I just put a tom-tom 510 on. Used RAM Mounts on the handle bars.. Found a direct-wire power cord on ebay (a store that sells a lot of different ones)[/align][/align]Whatever brand you pick MAKE SURE the unit runs on a SD Card and not a micro drive.. I tried a magellan and every bump it would lock up![/align]
