Alternative GPS mount
Hi,
I chose to mount my GPS unit to the removable dashboard as shown in the attached picture. I used a ball mount that uses a strong adhesive.
Advantages are that it is up forward and out of the weather. I have never covered it and it seems to still work fine. Also being up and to the right, when the scoot is locked up the handlebar hides it rally well - so I don't have to remove it when I leave it in my parking garage during the day. You really have to be looking for it to see it.
Disadvantage is that it is not as easy to see as the ball-mount style which is typically up and in your face.
So it's something to consider. I only glance at when riding - gotta watch the nuts in cars around me.
