Wiring in an accessory

Wiring in an accessory
I had no luck googling this or on hdfs search but is there a site or how to to wire in something that would run off of a cigarette lighter??? I seen the Cigarette lighter when I bout the bike and thought sweet a power source but before plugging anything into it I read the manual and sure as **** it says its not for a power source. Has anyone used it to plug a cell phone in or something like that? Im embarrassed to say it but I bought a tomtom so I can explore some far away places and not get lost. I have factory navi in my car and love it, and I also said navi has no place on a motorcycle but low and behold here I am looking to mount one. If it can be wired in Im looking to make it clean and hidden I will honestly use it on the bike maybe twice a summer so I dont want it showing if you know what I mean. I also see the acc switch which isnt hooked up so I would imagine I could use that maybe. Thanks in advance guys.

no problem using the GPS in the lighter socket, just make sure you have a low amp fuse in the GPS line to protect it.. the one for the lighter is too high amps.
