GPS holder

Can anyone recommend a holder that does not involve the suction cups? Getting a Garmin Nuvi 360 and want something to hold it around the radio area.

Garmin has a dashboard mount

But if you really want it off the dash and lower on the console you'll probably be needing the remote antenna;

Pretty nice stuff, but bigger and heavier than the OEM Garmin accessories.

Cool! Thanks again. It looks like the ram mount has more options that I can use and just bolt it down near the center console.

That one looks good too. $20 Amazon. I'll be comparing this with the ram tonight.

you know...

if the the nuvi doesnt have a pop up antenna or a plug-in external one, you might have crappy reception if the unit down low.

you might want a mount that places the unit around where the clock is on the wrx's...

get this antenna instead:

$32 vs $100... i never used the suction cup mount for my setup.

actually, the magnetic backing on my antenna was "worn off" for being mounted so long ago. close to over 10 years now... lol...

signal has been excellent even if I had it on the seat so I don't think the signal will be a problem. I just found out that I don't have a bolt in the area needed. I'll have to find another holder.
