Default help - seeking the ideal car mount

hi to all

i have recently purchased my vario along with copilot live and im in the process of searching about for the ideal car mounting solution.

firstly, i use different vehicles so portability between vehicles is important. i dont mind if the device is dashboard or windscreen mounted, but the option of either would suit best. im looking for a vertical holder thats active, and if possible, can house the copilot gps unit too, making life that bit easier when moving from car to car and less messy. if the unit had a built in speaker too that would be a bonus.

another option im interested in is a leather/metal case that could just be clipped on to a mount when in a car - maybe with the speaker and gps unit attached.

am i asking for too much? im sure ive seen solutions for other pdas, but not for the vario so far...

also, id like to know what experiences anyone has with goosenecks - is the vibration too much, especially on the motorways? is the pda too heavy for the suction pad over time? are fixed mountings any better?

ive also seen normal car chargers and 2 amp car chargers - anyone know anything about these - are the 2 amp ones surge protectors?

this is where any recommendations or links would be helpful...

regards

dan

thanks, ill take a look - i have a feeling ive seen it already though...

there is a universal suction gooseneck mount available, but ive heard bad things re vibration at speed and reduced suction over time.

do you have any experiences re goosenecks?
