I have a TT920 on the way.

I drive an '06 Chrysler PT Cruise and am looking at these mounts.

ProClip 853913 center mount. This put the GPS on top on the center stack and on the left side.

ProClip 85914 angled mount. This put the GPS on the right side of the center stack about 2/3 of the way down.

I would like to know which of these you would use and why. I have some thoughts on this but would like to hear from those that have used GPS units.

There are three major items to consider when locating a GPS. First, the antenna needs to have a good view of the sky. It can't see through steel, only glass and it needs to be able to see at least half the sky. Next, the display screen should be mounted where the sun wont shine on it directly. If that's not possible (I know, it contradicts with the first item), then try to locate it where too much glare doesn't reflect off it. The last item is that it has to be where you can reach it easily so you can program it. Good luck.
