Ron,
The GPS should have a power rating somewhere in the literature or on the case,
expressed in amps or watts (if it's in watts, divide by 12 to get amps). Allow
some cushion (50-100%). For example, if the power consumption rating for the
GPS is 24 watts, it'll pull 2 amps max @12V; you could use a 3 amp or larger
fuse. The cell phone should pull less juice than the GPS.
Make sure the wire can handle more than the fuse.
