Convenient Placement of Your GPS with a Sat Nav Holder

A sat nav holder gives you the ability to use your car GPS or phone without getting distracted by the road. GPS mounts come in a variety of shapes and sizes on eBay. The functionality you require can help you decide on the most suitable mounting system for your car.

What mounting options are available for sat nav mounts?

The most critical buying criterion for a sat nav holder for your car is where it mounts. The space in your vehicle will determine the most suitable placement. Some common mounting systems include:

  • Windshield mounts: The biggest advantage these holders have is that they are compatible with numerous car models. A windshield GPS holder provides an easy reach for the driver, allowing for convenient operation.
  • Vent mounts: These holders attach to air vents via clips. A universal sat nav holder will have removable clips, making it possible to use in different kinds of vents.
  • Dashboard: Dashboard mounts are favoured for the easy functionality that they offer. Mounting the holder on the central dash provides a clear view for everyone in the car.
  • Cup holder mounts: These sat nav mounts are designed to fit on cup holders, which allows drivers to comfortably operate the GPS or phone. They are suited for large vehicles, such as trucks with big consoles.
Why should you consider a weighted dash mount?

Weighted GPS dashboard holders are an alternative to conventional suction cup mounts. Some manufacturers use beanbags to add weight to the mounting system. The advantage is that holders can sit on the dashboard without slipping around while the vehicle is in motion. Lack of movement reduces friction and premature wearing of the holder. Some regions have regulations against the use of windshield mounts, so a weighted dashboard holder can serve as a suitable alternative.

How do you select the most appropriate sat nav mount?

The size of the GPS device should tell you the correct dimensions of the holder. Alternatively, you can opt for a universal sat nav holder so that it can accommodate other devices, such as smartphones or tablets. When deciding which mounting system you want in your car, ensure that it won't obstruct your sightline while driving. The arm should also be long enough to hold the display within reach. Consider the flexibility of the mount as well as the adjustability of orientation.
