So you've just shelled out a couple of hundred dollars on a new GPS, and now the salesperson is trying to get you to purchase a mount as well. You've had about enough of spending money today, but you really need to consider purchasing a GPS mount before you walk out of the store door. Let's say you don't buy one. Where do you intend to put the GPS while you are driving? If there is another person in the car, he or she can hold it. If not, then it's very dangerous for you to hold it yourself or to keep looking at the passenger seat to see where to go next. GPS mounts help bring the directions up to eye level.
