Vms mounting position

G'day fellers just wondering if anyone has made or bought a different mounting system for there off road gps. I'm not a fan of having it on the windscreen due to the blind spot.
Thanks

I haven't bought one yet but I have seen ones that use the bolts in the seat rails to hold the flexible arm in place.

@mudski has one of those and it seems pretty good.

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.

Not at all mate. it has been great. It rests on the ledge though too so heaps of support. the arm is 150mm long i think and it hangs down so i can't see the radio too well but its all good.

I could probably place something under it to lift it up out of the way but it has not been an issue so far

So the iPad RAM Mount i have is designed to take an iPad size tablet and stretches at each end then clamps the iPad firmly. Ball joint on the back clamps to the mount

Any photos and price?

Once finances get back in order this is s must for me I'm just throwing my iPad on the passenger seat and constantly stopping to check, annoying yes, convenient No!

Mine is a series 1 so no top glove box. Forgot to mention that

Mine is mounted at top of windscreen next to rear vision mirror with power lead running across passenger's sun visor and then down to dash via grab handle.
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.
