I picked up a Garmin last night and have it ready to go and am not sure where to put it in the NB 09'?

There does not seem to be a place on the dash and can't figure where on the huge windshield to place it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only flaw I see is that it covers the vent. In Arizona you NEED all the AC vents you can get. I just suction cup it on the smooth dash. Works great.

I have an older Garmin StreetPilot 2720; I wonder if it has an adaptor that fits that unit?

I placed the plastic mounting disk on the side of the center of the dash that faces the glove box door (there's a nice smooth surface for the tape to adhere to). It keeps the unit close at hand, and you can charge it from the port in the front of the console.

Also, eMounts.com sells stuff like that. RAM Mounts are pretty good also.
