Satnav Mounting

[Ex-Galaxy person]

Hi All,

 

Santa bought me a SatNav for Christmas, and I'm having lots of fun with it (I'm easily amused). It's a TomTom One (v2)

 

At the moment, I've got it mounted using the supplied windscreen mount, which isn't ideal (for me). I'd prefer to mount it on the dash; TomTom do a multi-mount kit, priced about

Hi Philip,

 

Just two things, or one really.

 

Make sure you hide everything that gives an indication that you have one or you run a real risk of finding a brick and a lot of broken glass on your front seats when you come back.

 

I find the best place is either on the small side window between the screen and driver's door or in the bottom front corner of the driver's door glass. It works better in the first one and both put it in a position where you can use it without taking your eyes too far off the road. I find that in the second position the reception is not as good resuting in sometimes being a bit slow which can cause confusion on multi exit roundabouts. Both positions make it very easy to lift it off and hide EVERYTHING under the seat.

 

I forgot to hide my first one just once and it took just 10 minutes to disappear. Only a fortnight old too, and in a private carpark with surveillance cameras.

 

Ron.
