*** MOUNTING MY GPS***

My first suggestion is that you should at least by it dinner first! :-

Okay,,, seriously now.....

I have a GPS III Pilot and use one of the mounts with the Suction cup (since
I use rental planes) and have been most happy with it. In the Cessna's I
fly, I mount mine near the left-most edge of my windscreen so that it holds
the GPS in my view, without appreciably blocking my view around it for
safety.

I have a C-150 and a Garmin GPS Pilot III. Right now it's mounted on
above the interment panel near (but not too close) to the compass.

I would like to mount it on the yoke. Does anyone have any experience
with yoke mounts on a 1966 Cessna 150? Will normal yoke mounts
work well? Must I really pay $89.95 for the yoke mount or is there
a cheaper/better way? Finally, are yoke mounts as cool as they
look, or should I leave it in it's currently functional location.

-Thanks

-Funny bit: If the GPS is mounted to the left of my compass it affects
the compass much more than on the right. This is probably due to the
internals of the GPS. If the GPS is too close to the compass it has an
unfortunately large effect.
