Where do you mount your portable GPS?

I almost never actually look at the GPS. I listen to the voice commands and my wife does most of the actually navigation! She's a pretty good co-pilot!:)

Bill - clever idea. Personally, I don't like the windshield suction cup mounts. They mess up the windshield, they aren't easy to adjust, and are difficult to move around the cabin.

I bought a Garmin friction mount. It's sort of a "bean bag" that sits on your dash or console and the GPS clips to it. At first I thought it would slide around on the dash, but no matter how hard I corner or brake, it doesn't move an inch. For about 20 bucks (amazon.com), I highly recommend it.
 
our car with the portable gps uses one of those heavy weighted bean bags. works well and less obtrusive than a windshield mount. i like bill's idea as i have on one car a pop out cup holder at the top of the central instrument stack and his "invention" would put the gps in a perfect position just like the in dash nav systems.
 
My son told me to sell those Armorall Tire Foam lids on eBay for 5 bucks each as a cup holder mount for the GPS!

LOL... I'm sure I'd get some negative feedback on those! :rofl:
 
Neat idea!

For me...The Sky has Onstar that gives directions through the radio display and speakers. Either of our other cars get a printout from mapquest before the trip.

Wish I had the :money: to go get one.

when money permits, get one (it's like driving with a road dictionary/atlas and makes you feel safer if you go to areas that you are not familiar with). i also love the fact that it re-directs you onto a freeway if you don't know here to get on. while i currently have one that i got free from a family friend, i'm waiting in the next few months for the black friday and christmas sales on them (going to get a tomtom) so i can have another with a bigger screen (i want the 4.3"). i've done my research on them so i know exactly what i want...
