I just used my Garmin Nuvi in my Spitfire just last Sunday. It had enough 
remaining battery power to not need using the cigarette lighter socket(which 
works fine so far).

I used a piece of duct tape & mounted it over the unused ashtray with the door 
open. Sure, I could barely see & hear it due to the top being down(sun) + 
engine noise, but it worked. 

This led me to thinking: Why not take out the ashtray & make a GPS holder that 
slides in & use the ashtray dash hole to mount it in? I need to make a 
cardboard mockup first. Then once I'm satisfied, cut a piece of scrap metal 20 
different ways & oragami it into form.
