Longer car charger lead?

Can anyone post a link or tell me where I can get a longer length cable cigarette lighter car charger with a mini-usb end from?

The silly place my cigarette lighter is positioned makes it a real stretch to plug the charger in and reach the sat nav on the windscreen.

Any mini-usb type will do as long as it's longer in length than the standard Nav Man/Tom Tom issues.

Possibly looking at 2m or more, to route it safely out the way.

Many thanks in advance.

Wouldn't it be easier to fit an extra socket outlet?

Do you think I'm drilling into my dashboard?

The dash area is one location, mounting a secondary socket inside the glove box is an alternative - unless you have an esoteric supercar or the car is owned by someone else this is a perfectly suitable solution.
