Proclip is the only way to go....in my personal opinion. Have a mount for each vehicle so that I can take my Garmin everywhere.

Re: GPS Mount
I decided against that lower mount just because I didn't want to have to look down to see the GPS. With the upper mount, it is almost at eye-level and only requires a quick glance. It is also much easier and faster for the GPS antenna to get satellite fixes, and it is easier to hear the directions because the speaker is not down in the footwell.
Just a few things to think about.....

Is this air vent holder more secure? Also...can it be easily put on and removed...I only want it there if I am using the GPS.
Also...does the clip scratch the paint?
I do like the mount higher at eye level as you mentioned. That is ideal as long as it is sturdy.
Thanks,
Ben
Re: GPS Mount
It is probably the sturdiest mount available and doesn't attach to the air vent itself. I'm not sure why you would want to remove it but to each his own. As you can see in acrispy1's photo it clips inbetween the panels. Constant removal would most likely end up marring the panels. While not a permanent mount, I consider it as such. It does come down in front of one of the center vents but it does not block it.
