In some states, it's illegal to mount a GPS on the windshield

What I do, on a BMW, is flip out the antenna on the nuvi horizontal to the
road and stick it in the cockpit air conditioning and heater vents.

The cantilever design of the antenna works perfectly to mount the Garmin
nuvi 6xx series.

The other option is to shove the Garmin as far down on the dash as you can
to wedge it in at the windshield as shown here

I've used both methods for about a year now (ever since the socket part of
my Garmin nuvi ball-and-socket joint cracked).

Now THAT's frugal living!

There seem to be no end of cup-holder mounts out there for cells phones,
ipods and GPS A quick google product search found me this link.
