Default How do I mount a gps?

I have a Magellan GPS. It has a 2.5 inch suction mount like on a windshield or a glue disc
to mount somewhere on the dash of my roadster. I prefer a lower profile than on the dash top or windshield. I would prefer the least conspicuous place that will also give the driver a view of the GPS screen. I'm preferring a more factory look than an add on. I would appreciate any thoughts. Blackie

Take an old credit card or gift card. Fold it in half the long way forming an L bracket. Use high-strength double stick tape to horizontally affix it to the middle of the back of your GPS. Now you should have a lip sticking out the back that can be wedged in between the radio and the console. Easily removed to safety when not in use. See my gallery.

Very nice idea-there is some companies that make the same thing out of stainless and charge $20.
This would also work on the left of the steering wheel above the air vent. A little less conspicuous.

Good thinkin' midnightman!

Yep.

That's the one.

Only I was wrong. It's $38+ for it.
