I have my Garmin nuvi mouted right above my EDGE. This seems to be the best spot for me. Now I just want to know how to tie the power cord into my truck so I don't have to waste a cigarette lighter port.

I just purchased a Brandmotion Magellan Intergrated GPS on ebay for a bit under 500 shipped. It is the Magellan Roadmate 760 modified to look OEM. My friend has it on his truck.. The thing can't be fooled. It's really awesome!
