Mounting Garmin GPS

I am looking to install a Garmin GPS into my 2013 Mini Clubman S. I have seen a lot of options on this web site but I have yet to see anyone install a GPS on the windshield in the center above the speedometer. If anyone has done this can they show me a picture? Thanks.

You will get it stolen up high. In front of the hand break leaning against the shifter surround hold with Velcro. Toss a hat over it when you leave the car. Works great, can plug into back seat or front lighter plug

As posted here last month, perhaps not in direct line of sight as OP's question requests but avoids glare from direct sunlight.
Works well for me with navigation commands announced plus an occasional glance at the screen for visual confirmation...
