hi all
I have a Ipaq hx2750 pocket pc running Destinator & Ozi ce
At the moment i have it mounted with a ok cheap suction mount pda holder on the far right handside of the dashboard
I am buying buying a ram mount and hardwiring it as suggested by some friends on here
But before do i want to ask those who have mounted either their pda or gps have they got them mounted to the dashdoard or suctioned to the windscreen & also where on the dash have they got them situated
& any other hints or advice anyone has on there setup

Don't know what your Ipaq looks like or how bulky. We bought a Magellan Meridian (hand held, but has car bracket as
well), and debated where it would fit. Only requirement was that it's aerial clear the dashboard. We thought on the dash rather to exposed to heat, sunlight and prying eyes, so have it attached just above the glovebox (nissan patrol), as there is a flattish plate above the glovebox. It is easy for the "co-pilot" to read, and doesn't get in the way at all. The guy we bought it from had it in a hilux, just to the left of the centre column. In the nissan, that would have been too low, and got in the way of the passenger. It just plugs into the cig. lighter, and can be easily removed to take as a hand held (on AA batteries).
