Just wondering what location you find is the best place to mount a suction cup base type GPS. I was concerned about mounting it on the windshield because of the front curtain airbags.
When I decided I wanted to use my GPS (Explorist) in my car I had a hard time decideing where I wanted to place velcro or drill holes. My final solution was to buy a dash mount and attach it to something to fit in a cup holder.
What I ended up with is a PVC shower drain screwed to the dash mount and slipped into the from cupholder. It is a little tight but so far has worked pretty well. I gets a good enough signal to work and is not blocking any field of view.

i was wondering the same thing, please show pics of where you mounted yours...
i was thinking on the flat silver panel between the steering wheel and the drivers door, any thoughts on that?

That's exactly where I've placed mine after taking off of the windshield. So far, with the exception of sun glare at certain angles, it seems to be ok there. I take it of before exiting as I am concerned that my knee will knock it off as I exit.

Any suggestions?

A point of clarification.... There are no front curtain airbags. There are side curtain airbags and front airbags which means the top of the dash and the windshield areas are fine for mounting things.

As Homer Simpson would say, "Doh!"
I forgot about that. You're right. Thanks!
Putting it on the dash is too low for me. I currently have mine next to the rear view mirror. I'd like to do a more permanent install how Landcruiser did his but I don't have that same type of mount for the Nuvi 750.
