Hello

some pictures of a garmin 1490 installation (I'll try to add some explications later...)

looks a tidy job! I like the garmins, they work well and have a really good interface.
have you got any more zoomed out photos of it fitted?

There is behind a glove box a wire for connecting to +12 V 
Freelander II 2,2 TD SE Stornoway Grey

Sorry for my wry English. I began to study it recently.
I'll be thankful for your corrections of my mistakes

It was quite difficult to pierce properly because I don't have any "dremel".

While the GPS is set, it's quite clean

I chose the front aux 12V because it's coupling with ignition so the GPS starts and stops automaticaly

This wire is too.

Can you indicate where exactly is the cable or how does the connector look like?
I'm finishing my own installation. It's similar to the one you did, but the device is Navroad NR780H.

FreeFree where did you get the Landrover picture from on the Garmin screen? I could use that for my 1490 if I can get it Ralph

Nice job Freefree. Do you let your GPS in your car ? it seems not very convenient to remove it from where it sits.
When I fitted mine, easy removal was a priority for me (I never leave it alone in my car), so I mounted it this way:

Apparently the 140 model has a different mount (mine is a 760).
Nice.
