I have the same set-up. I don't even notice the plastic disc anymore. It is starting to peel off a little but blame that on the Florida sun.

I keep mine in the glovebox and keep my attention on the road.
But I guess some can multi task and drive, talk on the cell phone,
and read the GPS all at once...
I actually have two for 3D stereo viewing...
What did we do before GPS?
I never remenber not getting to where I was going before GPS.
And no one died from not being in constant communication...

velcro it to the windshield and be done with it

I agree 100%. I find my Garmin gets me lost as much as it helps

Here's a previous post showing where and how mine is mounted. No cords to deal with.

You don't have to worry about where you are going because you live in NW Arkansas, dude! There are like, what, 4 roads in that part of the state? Some of us have to navigate humongous cities with maze-like roads and horrible traffic. Driving with a GPS with voice-navigation is a heck of a lot safer than trying to drive with one eye on a map folded over the steering wheel... rant

I have the same setup, except now they actually sell the one with the mini USB adapter, so no splicing required!

I'm surprised there hasn't been a grammar **** pick on the OP for his thread title.

The only time I have used a Garmin is when I drove a couple states South to pick up my car, and when I needed to find a building in a large city to take my medical certification testing. I'm moving soon, and most likely over 1000 miles away, so that's why I'd like a GPS. Got it as a present, so might as well.

Will have some pictures later
