If I can get GPSapp working well for me, I want to permanently mount the StreetFinder in my car (preferably inside my dash somewhere with its antenna up close to the windshield so it can see the most satellites), but power is a question.

Its cig-lighter adapter is a straight line to a fuse, so I know it can run off of raw 12 volts.

It has a lithium-ion rechargeable battery in it, but I'd just rather have it be getting 12v external power on whenever the emepg is on.

Does anyone see a problem with wiring its power input directly to the player's Amp Remote line? How much current do you suppose it draws?
