All cables hidden away and it works very well, with no residual current drain etc. The original OP was looking to mount his satnav on the windscreen so that is why I suggested the front fuze compartment just to reduce long cable runs. However, there is more scope for problems playing around with fuze boxes compared to taking a simple tap from an existing socket.
I installed a USB charging point in the side of the tunnel and tapped from the 12V socket in the cupholder compartment.
