My SatNav is TomTom software running on Mio PDA, I hang the thing dangling from the sunroof, the sucktion cap is very strong so not problems there. The screen is facing me, but I don't actually look at it while driving I only listen to the voice instructions. This setup works for me becuase (a) I find that having a screen in front of you can distruct, (b) it can also actually obscure, (3) the satellite reception through the sun roof is spot-on. Must remember not to try and open the sunroof in the summer while the kit is stuck to it though....

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

Superglue.
