Has anyone made a holder for their GPS? Saw a Garmin bean bag
type that looked nice, but at $40 I could not afford it!

I bought a bean bag style holder from QVC last week a lot cheaper than $40.

I found that the suction cup windshield mount for my TomTom will fit nicely into one of my spare cup holders; if I remove the large plastic nut on my SIRIUS windshield mount and replace it with a 'regular' nut it fits into another spare cup holder as well. It's nice not to block the windshield in case an officer of the law decides you can't see thru it. I have external antennas for both run to a storage cabinet above the cab, but I'm not sure I really need them since the GPS and SIRIUS signals can make it thru fiberglass.

I bought my base that I use my MIO mount from Semsons for $15 on sale. I also bought a sun shade for $10.

Here are some options!
I think I'm going to try one of them, but I'm not sure which one I want to order, yet.

Hello dpfreeman:
You might want to look at a web site www.mountguys.com
They have vent mounts which work real good and are reasonably priced.
Got one for a TomTom and one for a Magellan. You can take the mount on and off easy, plus they work in different vehicles.
Have a look. Hope this helps.

I used industrial Velcro on my dash. Took a square section of Plexiglas and mounted the Garmin cradle to it. I usually leave the cradle in place and just remove the Garmin. If I want to, I can just unstick the whole thing and remove it. I found this posted from another user and have been using it with my 7200. The idea works well.

This the one you got from QVC? and it works? heavy enough for a Garmin nuvi? http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail

Thanks scbwr:
I bought the first one on the list Bracketron UFM 100 BL It was $11.50
on line. I ran by Best Buy and they had the exact same one for $40.00 I mentioned to the clerk how much it was on line and she called a supervisor who price matched for me with the cost of shipping included. I got it for $19.00 It fit my GPS very
well and I think it will sit on the dash without moving and showing the GPS screen perfectly.
Thanks to everyone that answered this question. What a great group we have here.
