Mounting a Hand Held GPS

Years ago, I had a GPS system in my Pathfinder. That vehicle was only leased, though, and when we bought the van we did not get a GPS system in it. I cannot tell you how much I missed that GPS! I had become far more dependant on it that I knew. It was especially helpful when I had doctors’ appointments or interviews at locations where I had not been previously.
So, I eventually bought a handheld GPS for myself and I can take it in whichever car I drive, or when I am riding with someone else. We used it last month when we went to Disney for the Pirate and Princess Party.
The only problem I have with my TomTom is that the little suction cup mount that came with it does not work at all. I usually end up with the GPS in my lap or in the seat next to me. When I have tried to place it on the window or dash, it just pops off unexpectedly and startles me while I am driving. Not cool.
I’m pretty delighted to see this product called GPS Pal. It’s a cup holder mount for a handheld GPS. This is a much safer option for me than trying to mess with the suction cups or hold the GPS in my lap. I cannot tell you how many times the TomTom has slipped out my lap while I am driving. The GPS Pal is under $20 and in my opinion, it is a much needed invention.
GPS is the way to future. I see in next 20 years or so , may be no vehicle in our countries will be without gps. However , cost is still a problem , specially in developing nations. But I am sure , with increase in demand the cost will come down. Nice blog.
