I could also connect directly into the fuse box maybe?

Either way you will really need an inline fuse on the supply to the GPS to protect that particular circuit. If you rely on the fuse for the side/tail lamps (which is 10A) it won't protect a relatively low power consuming circuit (like for the GPS) adequately. Ideally you need to choose a fuse rating slightly higher than the peak current rating of the accessory (and its circuit). Eg: If your GPS consumes 2A (25W) then you'll need a 3A fuse to protect it.
Inline fuse holders are cheap as chips - normally they are supplied with GPS power leads?
