Looks good AA & should solve another problem too.  Thieves are now looking for the sucker marks on windscreens which indicate Sat Nav used and probably left in the glovebox, then its simply a quick in and out and they're off to sell it on Ebay.  ;)
And even if you take your gps out of the car you still get your window "tished" >:(

I found a way to sit the suction bracket on top of the open ash tray, it's quite firm & well out of the way:-

No I take the whole lot in & out,  the bracket fits between the bottom edge of the CCDR / ash tray, the lever on the suction cup in the on position but not 'stuck' to the ash thray, just wedged in - a good fit.

That's an excellent solution AA.  But how did you manage to glue the plastic to the bobbly surface?  

The little GPS sucker is very neat compared to the TomTom one, which is about 3 feet long.

My TT solution......again!  
I sometimes stick it over the tacho so I can fully see the MID.  After all, what use is a tacho in a non-manual?

finally got round to fitting mine.......took all of 30 seconds





I bought it from dashmount, the cost was the one factor that has always put me off, they look to be made from cheap meccano type metal.
How wrong was i!!
This is quality, it doesnt flex and looks very sturdy, and i can move the whole mount from left to right so i can get access to the vents.

Ahhh the Navman F20.......  Same unit I have although I find the spoken directions too quiet.

I used to have a Garmin i3 until it got nicked back in November, when 3 of the windows (windscreen, passenger side front and passenger sie rear) got smashed.  Grrrr!!  

The Garmin was a cracking little unit and had a very loud clear voice but the Navman's voice by comparison is very weedy.

Personally, to avoid having the tell tale circles on the screen, I use the dashtop mount that came with the Garmin and attach the cradle to that instead.
