I think the older GPS's needed to be in the windshield, but I guess with the newer ones, they have stronger antenna's. I really like the Garmin down there, it's not intrusive and actually looks nice.

It looks nice, is in a good spot for the driver to view it, and I imagine it improves visibility on a sunny day. Thanks for the info.

I wrapped the charger cord over and over around the suction cup holder, and then squeezed it into the ashtray opening until it fit just right. It takes some patience to get it angled right, and of course when I leave town, I need to do it all over again every time.

sounds cool - did you do it with the ashtray in or did u pull the ashtray out? i gotta give it a shot
right now i have it mounted on the left side of the steering wheel on the windshield just low enough so its barely higher than the dash...pretty good spot i guess...

anyone see/use/try the ones on ebay for the nuvi that clips on the A/C vents?

btw - i got the nuvi 350 and i love it - im living/working down in DC this summer and its been a life saver and extremely helpful in a nice condensed package
