760? This one? http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-760-Widescree...3%BCvi+760 Was discontinued by Garmin many many moons ago  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

to the direction the topic is going but who has hardwired their Sat Nav power supply in? If anyone. A bit of a PITA with all the wires dangling around even with a cigarette lighter adaptor to prevent the problem of the plug getting in the way of 5th gear.

I fitted a 12v socket inside my glovebox, and piggybacked the power from the 12v socket on the centre dash.
I already have 2x 20A 12V sockets on the undercubby for HD power requirements The glovebox one is discreet, so I can charge phones, satnavs etc with the lid closed. |

That is what I'm looking into doing as well A bit tired of the wires hanging around all over the place and having to route and set it all up before any journey requiring Sat Nav. âï¸âï¸God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 âï¸âï¸ |

Garmin 1490t
I like it a lot. Hardwired behind the dash and mounted with a Brodit clip above the passenger vent. Great unit with a Freeview TV tuner and nice wide screen. Looks totally discrete with no wires showing. It also accepts a camera for rear view or keeping an eye on the kids. Wide screen with lane assist. Good sound. Fast calculation times. |

Sounds like good features.
Please excuse my ignorance but what is a Brodit clip? Perhaps I'd recognise it if I saw one.. âï¸âï¸God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 âï¸âï¸ |

Brodit made The Pro-Clip. An aftermarket product and vehicle specific fit. All really good quality.

I have Tom Tom Go 940 Live which is about 4 years old and was top of the range when new. It came with US and European maps which I have used as well as adding Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Had to add a memory card to get them all to fit though.
The traffic updates have saved my bacon more than a few times. It was playing up and rebooting all the time over the last few months and I have been eyeing replacements but it seems to have stabilised of late so going to hang it out a little longer. I have it hard wired in which is one of the reasons I am reluctant to change - all of the new ones use a different connector. |

I hard wired in my TomTom Golive. Looks a tidier installation rather than having charging cables everywhere, plus it is a doddle to do.
You can see the power cable going into the back of the bracket.  Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

When running the cable down the back is there a gap that the cable can fit though? I.e. so it's not crushed between anything. âï¸âï¸God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 âï¸âï¸
