Default GPS Sun Visor

Anybody attached a small portable GPS to the Sun Visor? Just thought of that. Could be pretty neat if you run the wires on the side through the pillar housing, and can flip the visor up so the unit is out of sight.

An interesting concept, but I would think it would be a little hard to see even with the sunvisor down. Much easier to glance at it when it is down by the dash.

I think because of the angle of the windshield, the visor is pretty close to your head, which makes it hard to focus on the GPS and keep an eye on the road.

Of course looking down at the radio area is probably not much better.
