Best mounting spot for GPS I have found so far.

After 7 years of driving, I don't know why I never thought to mount a GPS up there on the middle visor. For the most part, they are useless so I figured why not. Keeps the windshield free of obstructions and forces me to really double down on my trip planning by inputting all of my stops before I start my day or trip.

I don't like my GPS on the windshield because I can't reach up and modify it while driving. I like using the look ahead feature or adding in truck stops/rest areas enroute

I 3D-printed a mount that fits in my overhead bin on my Kenworth to hold my iPad Pro with its GPS running. Sitting with my head on the headrest I can see all my mirrors and the map without turning my head much at all. Up high is the way to go with sat-nav.

That’s where my company puts our cameras

Your company put their cameras on the middle visor?

I always mounted mine in the upper left corner, mounting tape on the magnetic base, that way could grab the actual unit whenever I needed

No way I'd trust the GPS mount that high. Mine falls off all the time when it's sunny out

Try to at least memorize 2-3 turns, stops, or whatever. It’s not the old days where you had to know how to read a map but you should at least practice some of those habits of looking ahead of your route.

I have the same Stryker. I love it. My GPS is in the same position as well. I’m running a 2015 389 Pete with a C-15 600 Cat. Good to see other Drivers running the same Setup for radio and GPS.
