    I am trying to hardwire a GPS, I have a 2010 SR5 Tacoma, but do not have the same fuse available that most others do in the cabin fuse box,(behind the coin holder), here is what I have available...

    Top Row: 4th from the left open
    Middle Roe: NONE
    Bottom Row: 3 on the right side.

    My question is, does it matter which one I use, how to I find out which one will work when the truck is running, and shut off when the truck does?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    You could always go with one of these on an existing circuit (ie: Radio, Stop, Tail, etc)

    So with that add-a-circuit set up I can put it in an existing fuse like you said and run the GPS off of that fuse. Does it need to be a 7.5 amp one like suggested...

    What is a good way to find out what a GPS requires?

    A GPS won't require much juice. It should say in the manual somewhere what the AMP rating is.
