I kinda doubt we'll see a suction cup style, window mount for the shield, least not any time soon.
I would really make use of the shield as a car navigation unit. Any ideas for some parts to maybe make one of my own, or some sort of universal mount? ... Tho would the shield be too heavy for a suction cup mount?

Well I actually tried this and works well if you have a flat enough surface. The shield is luckily very heavy and has a good rubbery base, i just have a velcro strap i put over it which lightly holds it down from sliding on turns and sharp stops and it stays very well.

It becomes very tempting to watch tv while driving though (Not recommended)

How would you use it as navigation? Do you have a mobile hotspot or something?
Am I able to use the map on this as navigation and I didn't know it?!?!:laugh:
