Thanks for the words of warning, guys.

I've yet to decide where to mount it in the car (a Vauxhall Zafira) but will be making sure that nothing is visible when the car is parked up.

Cheers

What type of sat nav is it ( your MIL must love you) if it can be free standing then i suggest some anti slip mat on the dashboard surface and just sit it there. It works in my Zafira. No marks or anything on show.

Hi Tiler,

It's a Mio Digi Walker. It's only a cheapo jobby but my brother-in-law swears by his - hence his mother buying me one!

I've had a quick look and it'll sit nicely in the recess in front of the radio display without any fixing at all. I can then stow it in the glove box when parked and no-one will be the wiser.

How do you find the Zafira, by the way? I love mine a lot more than the MIL loves me! :lol:

The Zafira is great (2.0 dti Elegance) 45mpg and plenty of room in the back.
I use an HP Ipaq for my sat nav using Tom Tom software, i used to have a cradle but its a pain to remove every time so it sits on the non slip mat and chats away to me. I can use it on the passenger seat too.
I wouldnt leave it in the glovebox myself.
Did you know that some insurance companies will not pay if the sat nav is stolen if the sat nav is of the handheld PC type. Because its not classed as a vehicle only product.

Tiler - Ref. your comment on insurance companies, there's always some fine print which gives them a 'get out' - it annoys me intensely

Blister - I might just go down to the 'shop but only to do my annual 'tidy up' jobbie :lol:

Seasonal greetings to everyone

I managed an hour or so early this evening, until I was summoned inside to 'come and do some jobs.'

Sulk, sulk!
