RAM mounts are great, but pricey.  Then again, for something like this,
quality comes with a price.  I've used the Garmin suction mounts for every
GPS I've owned and they work pretty well.  In the heat of the Arizona sun,
the suction can fail, and you need to clean the inside of the windshield to
get a solid suction again due to the film that develops over time.  The
funny thing is, when driving my pickup, the only time the suction would fail
is on asphalt.  In my current Wrangler, I beat the crap out of the vehicle
on the trails with the GPS mounted the entire time.  It hasn't fallen off
yet during a club excursion.

 

What year is your Wrangler?

Thanks, Andy and AZcachemeister for the RAM Mount suggestions!  It's good to
have alternatives to explore.

I recommend RAM Mounts. They have a huge selection and because it is
modular, you can reuse the cradle, etc. if you want to mount your GPS to a
bike for example.

The RAM-Mount suction cups are bomb-proof when properly attached. Of course
they have lots of other mounting options as well!
Just a satisfied customer.

I just got a new Jeep Wrangler (well, new to me) and I'm looking for a good
way to mount my trusty eMap in it.  Do those suction cup thingies work well
and stay stuck?  Any other mounting ideas?  Any recommendations for a mail
order or Web dealer?

 

Thanks!
