How to mount a G2X display

GPS dataloggers like the G2X and Traqmate are becoming more and more popular among the weekend racers, taking self improvement to a whole new level. Unfortunately, none of these devices come with a convenient mounting option. I found a simple solution, and now I pass it on to you.

I found a universal GPS window mount kit made by Bracketron at Best Buy. It comes with several different mounting options, but one of those options is a flat plate that can then be screwed onto the back of GPS displays. I wouldn't try to screw anything onto the back of the G2X display, so I decided to use heavy-duty double-sided tape instead.
