    One day I'l get around to supplying power from above roof lining. Works really well and is nice and close to see easily and to change maps or zoom in and out. Would be legal as well as it is still level with bottom of sun visor and does not restrict vision.
    Will post photo when I go down to the shed.
    Thanks Wizard. I never thought about putting it up there.
    I just read through your posts and found a picture of it.
    I will give that a go.
    Thanks again. Mitch👍

    I have a GUIV which is the same and all GUs from GU4 up and i have a RAM Mount fitted into the top glove box where the factory GPS is supposed to go. From that i mount an iPad in a RAM Mount and its been bloody good.
    Yeah mine is the Ram Mount brand, and it mounts to the seat base mount. Great quality. Barely shakes when off road too. Well worth the coin.

    I mix n matched some ram mounts and ended up with
    some thing that velcoed to my dash mat in front of the driver
    but it could go on the centre ontop of the dash.
    Isnt it law now that all GPS be in front of the driver, not to the side??

    I thought it must not obstruct your vision so that is why I put mine up top. Also it is close enough so I don't have to put on my reading glasses to see it.
    All the in dash factory units must be legal ? and they are are normally in the middle.

    My Garmin is mounted in a Ram mount holder which is bolted directly to the back of the flip up compartment above the radio. Doesn't move or vibrate....
