Just got a 510 on clearance at Office Depot for $99. Pretty neat unit. My previous GPS units have been handhelds.
I've been experimenting with different locations in my Dodge Ram. I think I like it right up by the rear view mirror. Would be a great place to hard wire it directly into the overhead console with no wires hanging down and I could put the microphone right up there too.
I guess I'll have to cannibalize a car charger to do this? I did not see a hard wire kit available.
Will this unit eventually shut off once the power is cut...as in shutting the car off? I saw where some of the earlier units were shutting off too soon or too sensative, this one seems to just stay on. It is cool how it turns on when you start the vehicle, but would like it to auto-off as well.
