I've got a Garmin - you can't really tell from this pic, but I used a suction cup bracket and glued the round, plastic disc to my dash. I know, it sounds harsh, but I'm never taking it off. And the black disc doesn't look awful when the nav isn't there. Wires are run from the outlet in front of the cup holders, up under the dash and they come out just above the steering column.

TomTom app running on my iPhone 4.

It's secured in the TomTom car kit for iPhone which boosts the GPS signal among other things: http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/products...hone/index.jsp.
Its also hardwired to the fuse box on the passenger side.

I modified the TomTom car kit for iPhone to fit on the Craven Speed TomTom GPS mounting kit. http://www.cravenspeed.com/products/...ting-Kits.html. I removed the suction cup from the circular ring on the back and attached it to the ball on the Craven Speed arm.

No pics. 'cause I don't use it all the time, but I use the Garmin suction cup mount and mount it on my Speedo, or I have a Cigarett Lighter Mount that I can use - less one cup holder.

I use an iPad for when I need nav, and the motionxdrive HD app. It's really something. For now I leave the iPad between the passenger seat and the console, but I've been considering a mount that attaches to the seat rail bolt. But it's only used occasionally

I have my Nuvi 5000 attached to the speedo with the Kuda mount.

The Nuvi 5000 also has a video inout so I have a backup camera mounted just above the tail pipes. I have the audio output, power supply, and video in all fished behind the dash. As soon as I get some picture taken I can post some
