I apologize if this is a repeat thread, but GPS companies are always coming out with new models. What portable GPS unit do you have?

Brand? Model?

Likes?

Dislikes?

Where you display/mount it?

I don't have one and I am looking to get one. I want xB owners input because you have the same interior layout as I do.

Another Garmin Nuvi user. I forget which model, I've had it about two years. It announces the street names, but does not have traffic updates. I mount it to the right of the rear view mirror and never...repeat, never...leave it (or the mount) in the xB when I'm not in it.

words to live by! leaving a gps visible in your car is a nice easy way to need a reason to buy new windows in your car, as well as a new gps!

I have heard that many times about leaving it up, when your not in the car. Also been advised not to put my home address in for the "home"?? button. I'm going to put the local PD as the home address. It's four blocks away from my house.

They can always get your address from the registration in your car.

Well, here the tread is to go to a movie theater parking lot and steeling a gps. They hit the home button and it takes the dirtbags straight to your home. They know your not coming home soon or reporting the missing the gps for awhile. I know they can get your address from your registration but, thieves are lazy. I don't want to make it easy for them.

I use the TomTom One, Mounted it with velcro just behind the steering wheel, so when I look through the steering wheel I can see it, snaked the power cord upalong the steering colum. That way when I remove it, there is no trace.

I like that touch of tucking the power cord so that there is no trace of it when the unit is removed. Do you have any pictures of it? I was thinking like that. Maybe have the cord go under the dash and drill a hole so that it comes out the bottom of the cup that is left of the steering wheel.

Thank you Goldtouch. Looks good. If any one else has pics of their set-up, please post.

LOstSOul,
That is what I was thinking. I just want to hint the cord.

Here we go:

Should be a good spot in my opinion.

I like that mount location also. Nice work,Parkers09xB
