Garmin Nuvi about 1 year old, and my sister also has a Garmin Nuvi that is maybe 2 or so years old. They both work great!

I got a new GPS for Christmas: Garmin nuvi 1300T

Here is my setup.

How did you mount that right there? Just using the suction cup in the bottom?

 

[Parkers09xB]

First I made a plexiglass cover for the cubbie, painted it black and used 3M tape to hold it in place then just used the suction holder.

Oh yeah now I see it in the pics... Good idea. The windshield is where mine will be going for now though

For those making mounting plates . . .
The dash is a charcoal gray, rather than black. So, a dark gray paint would blend in better.
Also, I would mount one on the flat part in front of the driver, next to the gauges. It is a perfect place to one.

Dark gray would look good, you're right. Are you talking abou that flat part directly behind the steering wheel? 'Cause that looks like a great spot. That way I could use the little circle "mounting disc" thing that came with my Garmin and not have to worry about making my own. Plus, I could still use that cubbie to the left for sunglasses or my cell phone when needed... Tomorrow I'll go outside and see if the steering wheel blocks the screen at all.

I have a pad mounted just behind the steering wheel, and it is below the upper shelf. So, unless you are VERY short AND have the seat at the lowest setting, it should be above the steering wheel, in sight, and directly in front of the driver.

Great thanks. I'll more than likely put it right behind the wheel then. I'll test it out tomorrow just to make sure though.

I mean the area directly in front of my painted Scot flag:

Exactly. Here's where I put the disc:

I should have a picture of the Garmin actuallly on there soon. The adhesive that came on there didn't stick the the dash material, so now there is 3M double sided tape hold it on there. Hopefully it will stick... :x

Here we go:

Should be a good spot in my opinion.

I like that mount location also. Nice work,Parkers09xB

Your GPS looks as big as the screen at the new Cowboys Stadium.

Hahaha. Well, this has a 4.3 inch screen, so not quite as big as the Cowboys one. I've seen the Cowboys big screen in person and it really is as big as everyone says it is!
