Mounting GPS Unit

[Dfndr90]

I have a Garmin Etrax and am looking fo a cool way to mount it close to the Speedometer or high on the dash board so I dont have to take my eyes of the road/trail to look at it. Does anyone have any ideas or pics of what they have done.

Matt, I use something similar to this for my StreetPilot:

Adhesive tape (included) attaches it to the dash and it's been pretty sturdy so far.

I used velcro with an adhesive back from Home Depot. The glue is plenty strong and clean, new velcro is rated for 8 lbs per square inch. (No I am not a velcro geek, I just remembered that stupid fact from some engineering class)

I use the Garmin automotive mount. Can have the GPS low like the photo or high up above the dash.

John, what's that control box for (that fits where the AC controls would be)? Is that for nitrous??? :naughty

His 90 is ex-MoD so that is the convoy light/headlamp control switch. I had a similar setup in my '73 109 ex-MoD GS.

That's it, convoy switch.

Currently, it looks like this: http://members.shaw.ca/red90/dash.JPG with an indoor/outdoor thermometer / voltage guage combo and a couple o' switches.
