On the Windshield? Dash? Near the flippy door in front of the shifter? or that random ebay thing that attaches to the passenger seat?(http://cgi.ebay.ca/Car-Floor-Seat-Bolt-Mount-for-GARMIN-NUVI-370-360-350_W0QQitemZ170118948911QQihZ007QQcategoryZ58046Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

also did you hard wire the power and audio to the cars electrical system?

post your setup please:D

How about changing this to an anonymous poll? I'm sure there are some people on here who don't want to advertise how they've mounted their GPS Nav units in their cars on a public forum.

huh? it's not anonymous? I voted last night and it seemed anonymous and it is right now (unless someone changed it)

I used to mount my small garmin just right of the rear view mirror. Now I use a nonskid friction mount and stick it on the dash. I love it because it lets me tuck the thing away under the seat when i'm not using it.

It says at the top of the poll:

Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.

If you've already voted, then click on the #votes in the poll. That should reveal the voters.

ahhhh. I didn't know you can click that since other non-anonymous polls I've seen immediately shows the voters. Cool...now I know.

i apologize, didn't think of that, can a mod change it? I don't think I am able to

and I just put it to the left of my rear view, best position in regards to shading the screen from the sun

What about mounting it in a pod on the hood like those old school drag cars do with the gian tachs? :chuckle

Like a hood tach? It'll be kinda hard to use the touch screen.
Hood tachs look good only on old muscle cars.

Hmm... good point about the touch screen. Gonna need something like the GVN52 with the wireless remote to control it. :chuckle
