My GPSs sit on the console ahead of the gear lever
unless you need a bright light in your eyes, they work fine down there

Except when you have to take your focus off the road to read them.

Does yours not have a night map?

Fine - if you're a good driver belt the thing onto the dash centre.
However - If you're a hopeless sod of a driver, *please* mount the fucker
in your sight line, well and truly.
Else, get a good-botherer fish mounted on the car somewhere obvious.
There are many of us who drive for a living, and we need all the help we
can get to identify imbeciles:-)
