Default Looking for a Navi System

I am looking for a Navi system for my S. I don't care much about voice systems as I can't hear them anyway over the exhaust. I wan't something with a larger screen. I am more interested in the way it mounts cuz I don't want it to look tacky

1) What system to you use?
2) Why do you like it (options)?
3) Post a pic of how it is mounted?

I was wondering if you can get one that would fit in the sliding compartment between the seats so you could open the slider and put your device in there and it would 'kinda' fit?

Thanks

Best interface is Garmin's, hands-down. There's a reason they are so popular -- they're easy to use. I use a 260W.

Tom-Tom is okay, but I still find Garmin's UI much simpler. Avoid Magellan. Crappy build quality.

I use a Nuvi 260 on the S and a C330 on the CRV.

i dont think your gonna wanna put it in the cupholder as youll have to be looking down. i just use the suction cup thing for mine and put it in the lower left corner of the window. i have a tom tom GO720 and enjoy it when i use it. it has some nice features to it.

I also have a Nuvi 260W. I like it. What I really would like is a GPS capable in dash system with a small screen (without a flip up screen)... There is one but I guess it is hard to fit. I wish there was a system that fit easily and worked with the Modifry DCI.
