Portable GPS? Mounting?

[ukchris]

I decided the best place for the GPS was on the steering column between the wheel and the cluster, it blocks off the digital display but that's no hardship, it is mucj, much easier to look at there. To hold it steady I cheated a little, when I did my 4 stalk upgrade I stuck two neodynium magnets on the inside of the column cover, I then got a right angle piece of clear acrylic with two matching magnets which I attached to the GPS (a Dell Axim PPC). It now "snaps" in to palce and holds real right then when I remove it there isn't so much as a trace.

I've got a Garmin 330. Incredible little devices, these.

I take the entire suction cup base off when I remove the GPS from the car. It's just as easy to remove as the GPS is from the base and leaves potential thieves nothing to consider.

If they see the base or sometimes even just the empty cigarette lighter they'll start looking for things within the car so you don't want to leave any indication that there was something expensive in the cabin. Especially in a convertible.

I'm thinking of picking up a Garmin Street Pilot i5

Anyone have one ? Any comments ?

Any other suggestions in the $400 price range ?

Thanks,

Nick
