Cool! Is that where you are mounting it though? Thats kinda an odd spot. Looks like it would partially block the side view mirror.

It doesn't really block my view of the mirror, actually. Either way, it's only temporary until I find a cup holder mount that I like. Down there with the cups is the most perfect spot!

Unusual place to put it. D: Apparently it's illegal to have your navigation stuck to your windshield, and my dad put the round mount thing on HIS car, so I either I gotta ride dirty or just keep it on my lap. :b

Nice pickup, thats the one we plan on buying, but after watching the price drop so much in the past 5 months I'm going to see what they do before I drop $.

That's so far away o_O

Awkward place to put it, I think.

just curious if it was on the door window. What does he do when he opens his door .

I mount mine to the windshield. But driving yesterday I noticed it was a little further away than when it is in the Accord. Made it tougher to read. I may fool with moving it closer.

I tried putting it in the A-pillar window. No-go. Too big.
