How do you mount your phone for gps?

I'd search but it brings up the whole PH forum, and in the drill-down - the Griffith group is missing, so I can't select it to search.

Personally, being old fashion, I use a traditional sat nav. But if I was using a phone, a windscreen suction mount, sat nav style, would be my preferred option.

I use a cd slot mount, you can get various brackets for phone, sat nav etc.
They never fall out & easy to transfer to another vehicle.

Ahh - don't have a CD slot. Mechless head unit.

I tried a screen mount but the screen is raked so steep it doesn't help.

I'd try a vent mount, but the vent would likely fall out :-)

I don't want a dedicated nav in the Griff, it's just for the occasiaonal drive where I need GPS and the phone works well.

Have a look at the self adhesive brackets made by Scosche . They hold the phone by a magnet to a plate on the back of your phone. Brilliant bit of kit.
Bracket doesn’t look out of place either. It can be fitted to curved surfaces and you can also cut the bracket down to fit around switches et cetera.

Cheers all, I've bought the above. I'll work out where to stick it on. At present , the "middle" vent is connected to nothing so I might 3D print a blank and mount it to that.

Thanks again

I bought one of these:-

Simple clamp idea, no glue or sticky pads and easily removable.

Found it works fine.

That's a great solution! Don't care what it looks like. Just need something that works when I need it and goes in the glove box when not needed. Thanks

Thanks all, it turns out the Scolsch was perfect. Unobtrusive, toally effective, and easy to mount.
