Using 1/4" plexi glass I cut a shape using the rubber noise deadiner from the cup holder. I then used double sided molding tape (not the cheap stuff) and stuck it in place. Then I stick the suction from the GPS mount to the plexi glass in the cup holder. Works great, easily removable.

I have the Garmin 760 and use the bean bag. It just sits anywhere on the dash and is easy to remove when we stop and leave our car parked.

Sometimes I stick it to the glass roof, slightly to the right of midline. Its off the windshield and easy to see. Give the fighter pilot feel

My Sony NavU has a pretty unique suction cup; however my dashboard is too porous to reliably hold the unit (and the Armour All gloss doesn't help). So, I stick the suction cup on the windshield. It's a bit of a stretch to push the buttons, but then you're not supposed to futz with those things while you're driving anyway.

Since I move mine from car to car I used the visor clip from my Valentine One (don't use it-have it hard wired under the rear-view mirror) drilled a small hole in the suction cup mount of the Garmin another in the clip and attached the two with a small nut & bolt and just slide it in the visor of the Corvette or any other car I'm using.
