Can you show/share how you have mounted your protable GPS? TIA.

I mounted mine in the bottom left hand corner of my windshield so that it doesn't obstruct my view of the road

like EYE8 i mounted mine on the bottom left.

i have a garmin c-340. Best place to mount it IMO. I just had to get an extension for the cig lighter, which was easy enough.

lol...well, that's an in-dash...it's usually the best place to have one, except that it's kind of too low. Personally I'd rather have a flip-up one as well, purely just because theives are after them and can see the double-din style too easily

And will do. I'll do it tonight.

Mine is usually in my crotch. The suction cup sometimes just lets go and on the way down, the GPS bounces off the steering wheel which sends it into my crotch. Not a pleasant surprise while driving.

My Proclip mounts for my hybrid should get here tomorrow. I'll still have to use the suction cup when driving the old Camry though.

here's a quick pic of my mounting position

it's a JVC KV-PX9B held on with a suction cup - 20gig hard drive FTW!

mine's even further to the left since i dont have those spiffy A pillar gauges.

beleive it or not its not that far south on the dash, unless your 6'5 pegging the roof your ok, i can see the screen and comfortably navigate while driving. as for the theifs its not really an issue for me as i have 2 alarms and my car sleeps in a garage at night, at school or work i park under security cameras, besides that, with anything after market you always have to watch out, i saw some1 on the forum here had a covering for their double din, it make it look like an OEM compartment that pops off when you need to use it all illusional but it looks really like an OEM compartment...ive been thinking about getting that.

Damn Pussy, what the hell you have on your car. It looks like you're driving a knight rider than driving a camry.

***Eye8Pussies*** · 02-27-2007, 03:00 PM

^ I like to think that it's more like a cockpit than anything else....lol. and I don't even show my 7" flip-up and stereo in that pic either....

and I got all those gauges as boost-prep- all practical and much needed when you're going FI - vacuum/boost, a/f, oil pressure, oil temp, transmission temp

it takes awhile to get used to, but it's saved my ass a number of times
