Default Where do you place your smartphone GPS?

I can't find a good place to put the phone and I don't want to use a dash mount. Is there any way to attach the phone to the recessed area of the sat-nav screen? Like many people I would rather use my phone GPS than my car's. What's your solution?

You could look into one that clips into the CD slot. That's what I've been considering.

I got a charger and arm together, for my garmin, and it's perfect. The only other solution I liked was a suction cup mount on the dual cup holder, but then you lose functionality. I don't like stuff on the dash, that's why I didn't put the suction cup holder on the dash.

I was poking around and found the ideal location (for me) -- inside the pop-out cupholder below the left air vent.

I suppose you could also velcro it onto the sat-nav screen....
