Subject:Lovin' my new GPS!

(Simple pleasures!)  My 2010 GPS didn't have lifetime maps.    If I were to
purchase lifetime maps now for my 2010 GPS, it would cost nearly as much as
what I paid for this brand new GPS
<http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=GRNUVI2597LMT>.

Besides its features (BT, receives voice commands, etc,) I like that the
mini USB port is located behind the GPS, and the fact it can sit right on
the dashboard, using the suction cup as a stand.  I'd like to install an
additional cigarette lighter plug hidden under the dashboard with the
unit's mini USB cable accessible through the ashtray, so the charger and
its wire (necessary for traffic info) would be hidden.  The "hidden" cable
would be stationary, but I would remove the GPS unit while parked and keep
it out of sight.

Are there any directions on where I would start?  (I have modified and
replaced parts in computers, but that's about the extent of my wiring
skills.)   Should I try to "go for it," or just take it to a shop?
