Your review mirror is mounted on the windshield and if you have a toll
pass system (like EZ Pass) that has to be mounted on the windshield.

Don't know if this viable everywhere, or on every car, but since I
don't use my EZ pass much, I just wrapped a couple big rubber bands on
it to keep it from sliding, and keep it in the glove box. When I go
on the tollway, I put it on the dash against the window. Works fine.

I would be more concerned at the amount of drug or alcohol impaired
drivers than somebody playing with their GPS.

I'm thinking about getting a GPS, but can't justify the cost for the
driving I do. OTOH, if it will do double duty on a boat I might just
go for it now. What's good for both car and boat, or is there such an
animal?

I have been told that there are Garmin units that will do that.

I'm not familiar with the Garmin product line so I can't say.

Here's one. Can't speak for how it performs on the water.

It is not me, but the wife who needs one. I do mapquest maps for her, but
they have errors so many times. And my wifes friend's kids gave her a GPS.
Lady as zero directional sense.
