gps unit
Message:
with this unit all i want to do is navigate, so what i see to install is a red and black wire ,obviously red to the hot fuse and black to ground now do i need to put in a toggle switch for that or run it direct? now there are many more smaller colored wire that do different thing but i don't think i'll be needing them.

I would run it direct, with a fuse of course. As long as the unit has an on/off switch, I see no use for a toggle switch. Which type of unit?

That's it. Right to the battery with a 1-2 amp fuse. Keep it low amp to protect the unit.
The other wires are if you are going to synch it with radar, etc.
