A 10 amp fused line can go from the battery directly to the relay and is neat and tidy.

Thanks for the Tips, Mr. Easy and Mr. WW.
As I worried little, after reading your comments, I checked the GPS power adapter
which came along with GPS Package and found that it uses less than 1 amp.
Says that 1 Amp and 5 V ouput, its about 5W ???
And the other power adapters that I bought for the next projects were max 12 V and 1 A, about 12 Watts.
So, if i using both at the same time, about 20 W max additional loads.
I'll try RELAY too for the better safety...
I think that I tapped out from "Tail Light" not from "Brake Switch".
The line is from the tail light positive which turns on when ignition sw. is on. ???
If you think that I got wrong line, please let me know...
Thanks again..
