Which GPS bean bag holder?
Thanks again for your advice! Which GPS bean bag holder does everyone recommend? We just bought our first GPS; the Garmin 760LMT and cannot wait to use it! Any suggestions/advice appreciated!

Since this thread has veered of course I will throw this out; I predict that GPS units will be outdated soon. On a recent trip I used "Waze" on my phone.
The Waze app is a community-based traffic and navigation app. You and other drivers enter info as you travel plus it monitors your speed. The app uses this info to warn other drivers of slow downs, accidents, vehicles on the side of the road and even active police radar units.
Traffic was heavy and without me doing anything the phone app told me to leave I95 and routed me on an alternative route to avoid a slowdown.
I doubt that GPSs will become outdated just because there MAY be an alternative for traffic congestion. A GPS does a million other things.
Will Waze know I am pulling a 35 ft 5th wheel when it tells me to jump off the interstate and head down city streets, or even a county road ? What about the fact that I need 13'6" clearance ?? What about the fact that right hand turns on city streets can be a very big problem ? And what about the fact that a phone screen is way smaller then my 7" GPS, which sits on the dash in plain view.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all in favor of progress. But I learned a long time ago that just because something is new, that does not make it better. And I'm just not sure this sounds better for me.
