I've got two mounts in my car, one for the GPSr or phone (same magnetic mount, phone has handsfree built-in) and another for my TX PDA when it's running TomTom. The BT GPS sits on a non-slip mat as far forward under the windscreen as it'll fit, and MBL occasionally has her eTrex on her side of the dash as well.

So, three screens? Phhht! Nuttin'!

:oops: on a recent trip to melbourne we had 1xGSPmap60c, a USB mouse GPS on the laptop, a tomtom & my bosses navman all going at once. We where doing a side by side test to see if we liked the tt or nn better, needless to say one was FAR better than the other

Now you have tried those 2 now try copilot! Far better in my conclusive tests.

Standard, the Bundymobile runs 3 windscreen mounts, PDA, GPS, and Navman. In addition the phone sits on a dashboard mount. I can also run the laptop off the inverter in the rear if I want to. During the day after the Big Brissy Breaky, when Mrs Bundy and I had the pleasure of caching with Cached, we had another windscreen mount, for her PDA, as well as her laptop running in the front.
