Clayjn---Yes I put my GPS unit down in the console by the shifter in the open area. Since I dont travel to places I dont know all that often, I dont use my TomTom all that often. You didnt say you wasted over $100 every single month to satisfy your GPS needs (when you was asking where we put our phones). I would suggest, if its GPS service that you desire, ditch your smart phone, buy a tracfone (that will save you $100 every month) and spend $200 buy a real good Garmin or TomTom. There deal is done.
