It all depends on the type of GPS vehicle mount you have. But for the most common double sided tape mounts this is what I would do. Clear away dust from your dashboard using a soft cloth.

Choose the placement of the GPS mount by holding it up to multiple areas of the dashboard. The internal antenna needs a clear view of the sky to receive signals. Make sure your view of the road is not impeded. Remove the double sticky tape from the bottom of the GPS mount. Try to avoid contact with dirt or dust.

Understanding GPS Mounts?

GPS mounts can be a great way to secure a GPS navigation system to a dashboard. However, it's important to understand some of the risks of using GPS mounts. In many cases, a GPS mount will leave a small ring on a windshield when it is removed. This small ring will indicate to criminals that there may be a GPS unit in a vehicle. In some cases, leaving this ring on a windshield can increase the risk of vehicle theft or break-in. To avoid these problems, it's a good idea to wipe a windshield after removing the GPS mount. In addition, it's essential to make sure that the power cord for a GPS system is hidden out of sight.
