While we are at it, the power plug is VERY tight. I swear I am bunging the
thing up putting it in an taking it out. I hope this gets easier with
time.

It won't. Better buy a spare.


I haven't had a problem with the power cable, though I agree that it
isn't in a great location relative to the mounting bracket.

However, I can't figure out why the USB cable for the GXM30 has a
right-angle plug on the end. Even in the auto mount, the plug angle
jams the cable down into the mounting surface. Doesn't make any sense
to me. It is this cable (or the USB receptacle inside the unit) that I
worry about breaking or stressing loose over time.
