Free GPS Guidance

I was talking with my brother-in-law today about his automotive GPS and that we had noticed an article on the news recently about how often automotive GPS units are getting stolen these days.  When you are parking your car, especially in the larger cities, it is all too common for someone to do a “smash and grab”, and your GPS unit is gone.  He says they are even looking to see if there is a mark on your windshield where the suction cup has been removed, so some folks will break into your car just in case you stuffed your GPS under the seat or in the glove compartment or something.  That suction cup mark is a dead giveaway that there probably has been or may still be a GPS present in your car.  That led to a discussion about different options in GPS mounts and the possible problems with each.

Again, the suction cup mount will more than likely leave a telltale mark on your windshield.  Also, the GPS car cup holder mounts or vent mounts would either be visible and also a tipoff of the presence of an automotive GPS and might actually cause damage if you were trying to take it off and on whenever you park your car.  Not good at all.

In my opinion, a great option would be a bean bag mount, or even better, in my opinion, is the Nav-Pack which is a new, innovative mounting device for most GPS units that doubles as a carrying case when not in use.  It contours  to the top of your dashboard and works on most uneven or textured surfaces. With a high tech, anti-skid material that keeps the device from sliding, the Nav-Pack provides a stable mounting base for your portable GPS or other electronic devices.  With the added benefit of becoming a padded carrying case for your automotive GPS when not in use, I think that is the best way to go in today’s sad society where some people  don’t think twice before stealing something, possibly even for a lark.  Well, be smart and protect your car and GPS by making a simple change to the way you use your automotive GPS.  I think you will be glad you did.
