Anyone have any gadget mounts in their Versa? I'm looking at mountguys.com and am thinking of getting a cup holder mount for my Nuvi 250. Was wondering if anyone has one and knows if it will fit well.

I already have mounts on the two middle vents for my xm radio and mp3 player. And I have a suction mount on the left side of my steering wheel for my BlackBerry. So yea... my dash is pretty crowded.... That's why I'm looking into using a cup holder mount.

Here's a couple of links:

I think that is a bad location for a GPS unit. For best functionality you want it up higher, within line of sight without having to take your eyes off of the road much. The GPS unit will also perform better when the antenna can "see" to the satellites directly. If you don't want to have it suctioned to the windshield, you can use the Garmin supplied stick-on dash mount disks.

Where you have the phone is better for the GPS. Might be more worthwhile to find an alternate mount for the phone. Try proclipusa.com.

check proclip. I personally use the angled mount below with a nuvi200w and like it a lot.

Proclip seems like it's way too expensive for me. I picked up a Nuvi 250 for 100 bucks and don't really want to shell out 80 bucks for a mount.

You guys think the reception will be signbificantly worst if I put it in the cup holder. I guess I can just give it a try.
