GPS Mount - Speedo?

I'm looking at buying this mount for my Dell Axim X51v (pocket PC).
OnCourse Powered Mount

But I'm considering also buying this suction cup mount because I like how you can tell when it's going to loose suction.
Woods Power-Grip

Then retrofitting them together to suction to the face of the speedo.

Is the speedo face durable enough to handle that?

In a back issue of MC2 thats where they had one in a test report. I think thats where I would put one if/when I get one.

I have tried the suction mount on the speedo. The clear plastic flexed too much and the unit jumped around. I wasw afraid it would eventually cause some damage.

I would either use a suction mount on the windshield (what I do now) or get the Panavise mount that will place the GPS just to the right of the stereo angled toward the driver.

You'll have full use of the speedo, your gps will be securely attached, and you won't risk breaking something or missing an important warning light on the speedo face.

Here is my sirius radio installed using a panavise mount. You can buy one here: http://www.panaviseonline.com/product.php?id=1427
