The problem I can see wiring directly to the battery is draining it when stopping and forgetting the GPS or whatever you plug extra on. That's why I was looking for something live only when engine is on - there is this connector behind the dashboard and there is another one under the seat.
There are some pro's to when using a cigarette lighter socket - you can plug almost anything from phone, gps, chargers, compressor, some kind of lighting when camping etc.
