    Ok folks,

    Not sure where I should post this, so if it needs to be moved, please feel free.

    I've just installed the Navigon App and it works a treat for the UK. However, I need to be able to mount it on the "dash board".

    Can anyone give me some thoughts / reviews on their mounts they use, or have looked at.

    I've seen a couple and will pull up a couple of links shortly, and post them here. Seems about £15 for something half decent.

    I need it to link to the ciggie lighter so I've got power going to it, and ideally be able to position it as a "landscape" view.

    This one is £20 - Need to buy the charger separately.

    This one is £14 - Not sure if it can do landscape

    Dunno how it works in the UK, but I use this and it works wonderfully.

    Have had crappy luck with with my past 2 DLO docking ports, but this one has yet to fail me and I use it all the time. I love that you can change between Landscape and Portrait on the fly.

    Then again it's $100 U.S. bucks, but worth it. At least for me anyways. I drive a lot. And I hate radio.

    Yikes! :D

    Not paying that much, I can assure you. Then again, I don't drive even closely as much as you.

    $20-30 max imo :)

    It does look nice and sturdy however....but it seems that it's going to be somewhat dependant where your cigie lighter is

    Yeah it definitely does. Fortunately the arm is flexable, so it moves around and fits in areas well. 20-30 Might be tough to find, but I am sure you can if you look hard enough. If you even find a product you like or are interested in, you should check out eBay. Friend got a 80 dollar docking port brand new practically for 30 bucks. Works great too.

    Just thought I would throw it your way though bro. Good luck!
