The idea of mounting something you might have to look at once in a while closer to your feet, is potentially an accident waiting to happen. Navigation aids (GPS) were intended (read the startup warnings) to be mounted near or just below line of sight with the roadway, and if that means partially blocking the windshield, that's preferable to placing it such that your eyes will be completely off the road for any reason, even for a second or two.
JMO.
x2 on that although I think California has some laws about attaching things to the windshield...

I have a tablet mount in my truck, for a 7" tablet, so probably similar size as the 770 unit? It's on 24" adjustable shaft, and secured under a bolt for the passenger seat.
My Garmin 760 uses a beanbag, so it's not attached to the windshield at all. It sits in the middle of the dash.
In my station wagon, my smaller Garmin Nuvi is tucked into the left hand lower corner of the windshield.
