Default I have a Garmin GPS USB Receiver that i hook upto my laptop, it works great!....

I mount the unit on the roof and lead the cable through the tilt in the sunroof and connect it to the laptop. It works like a champ!

Default I have a Belkin iPod mount that goes in the cup holder that I have 'tweaked' to mount my GPS.

Its in my fiancé's car right now, but when I get it back, I can take some pictures.

Default Garmin Nuvi 660. Portable and switch between my work ride and the S. A must have for anyone that

puts any miles on a car. This is the second favorite thing in my car besides my V1. It is a close second as the 60G IPod with 12K songs in right there.

I mount mine along the windshield just to the right of the A Pillar. I like it much better than in the middle of the windshield, less distraction and a better line of sight.

Good luck there is a new Nuvi out that has live doppler radar that looks sweet but is $$$$$.
