In most home renovations there is ample room on a branch circuit to add another outlet. Very seldom does an electrician, when wiring a home, load the circuit up to maximum outlet that the electrical code will permit. Now the thing that has to be kept in mind is what is the load on the circuit now. The second thing to keep in mind is how much is the new receptacle outlet's load going to be. A home branch circuit is protected by a 15 amp breaker, so that is the maximum amperage load you are able to apply to the circuit without the circuit tripping. If you are able to stay within this parameter you should be able to add another receptacle outlet to the existing circuit.

Can you direct wire a gps directly to the fuse box and not use the cigarette ligher?
Yes, i just did it. the easiest way is to get a female car socket adapter (the have them at radio shack or auto part stores) or get an extension cord for a car port and cut off the male end. then plug your charger into that. next you buy something called add-a-circuit (also you can get it at auto part stores) you crimp the red wire from the female adapter to the add a circuit wire, you attach the black wire from the adapter to any bolt on the frame that's grounded (most should be.) then you plug the add-a-circuit into an open port on the internal fuse box in your car. that or take a fuse out of one spot and add it to the add a circuit. be sure that the spot you put the add a circuit in is one that only charges when the car is on. otherwise your GPS will run non stop and drain the battery. check your owners manual for the fuse box location and which fuses are for what.
