No powercord, is not necessary. Battery is good for 5 á 6 hours. I charge him in house and not in the car.

If battery is still empty while I'm driving I put the powercord over the steering column to the lighter plug.

Is that all wood or wood and plastic? I probably can't fabricate something
like that, but will think about it if I get a GPS.

Do you have any more mods you want to share??

One big advantage of using this cup holder as a mounting point...no tell-tale
sign that you have a GPS! Just close the cup holder!

Unlike mounting it on the dash, the circular mounting plate will remain clearly visible!

I think this is a great idea. Throw the GPS in one of the compartments or
take it with you.

It blocks the vent for both heat and A/C which is a big NO for me. Innovative all the same.

Maybe, see my garage.

The support is all wood and the black is leather.
