Default Where do you mount your GPS?

This may be kind of a dumb question but where do you guys stick your GPS in your cars? It's hard to put it low on the windshield because I don't have 3' arms. Any place else is kind of blocking your view or the cord get's in the way.

I think I may try hanging it off the passenger side T-Top.

I have mine resting in front of the shifter against the console. I don't need to see it really, just hear it.

I mount mine right next to the rear view mirror up high on the passenger side and it fits perfect right there. I dont run the wire and just recharge it as needed.

I have this vent mount I got for $10, its great. I forget putting it on your windshield and making it easily visible or putting some adhesive on your dash.

Either sitting in the cupholder or when I'm feeling a little goofy it hangs from the T-Top!

When I am actually going somewhere and I need its directions I put it above the rear view mirror. The rest of the time it spends in the center console
