The GPS is less obtrusive in real life than in this close-up.
Here's a quick tip: Mount your portable GPS navigator to the left side of the steering wheel on the dashboard or the windshield. Until recently, mine sat above the middle of the dashboard, as does just about every other one I've noticed. When mounted in the lower left corner, the screen seems easier for driver and passenger to see while also being less distracting. The arrangement does send the power cable snaking across the dashboard, but with careful threading, I've not found that a problem.
