Default Cut off power to cigarette lighter with ignition

I bought a new Tribute and just noticed that when you turn the ignition switch off, it does not cut the power to the accessory power outlet (cigarette lighter). This is very annoying if you have a GPS that automatically switches itself off if it senses power off. I am concerned it would drain out the battery.

Is there anything I can do? Is there a fuse-relay combination that I can install instead of the factory fuse?
