How to Attach Hand Held GPS to Dash of V70

    I find that my hand-held gps gets a good signal if placed on the top of the
    dash under the sloping windscreen of my V70. However it slides off at every
    bend.

    Anybody know a good way of fixing it without damaging the trim? It is a
    Garmin 72. I also have a neoprene case for it which has a belt strap and a
    clip buckle at the back.

    cheers

    I put mine in the center console cup holder. The signal strength is adequate
    and it's easier to access while driving.. --

  5. For a dash mount, start with this bracket:

    and find a holder that works with your GPS. I have cell phone
    mounting cups in both of our '98 V70s with these brackets. They work
    great!

    Thanks.

    Buy some stick on Velcro at a craft store, I've used it for similar
    applications.

  7. Get one of those Garmin beanbag setups. Works great, no sliding.
