I like to put mine on the lower left side of the windsheild where I can see it, but it won’t block my view of traffic. I purchased a GPS mounting pad for my wife so she can but her GPS receiver on the dashboard. It works well and leaves no telltale rings on the windshield.
Portable GPS receivers are sought by many thieves. If they see a ring on the windsheild, they know there’s a good chance they will find A GPS receiver in the glove box.

I wet the suction cup a little and stick it to a clean windshield and it holds until I take it down.

I’m planning to sell my car and the buyer wants none of it!
What is the safest (/simplest) way to remove this dashboard adhesive disk?
Thanks!
