Nothing may impede a driver's view in the swept area of the wipers, so aftermarket sat-nav units stuck to the glass are technically illegal. Realistically, they only tend to be a problem at an MoT or if PC Jobsworth spots them.

I tried the centre-bottom of the windscreen and it didn't feel 'right' to me; almost like the screen was saying "oh, hello! Look at meeeeee!" whenever I was scanning with my eyes. Plus it feels too cluttered there for me, what with the RVM there as well - I am fairly tall, so I probably sit higher in the car than most people so my eyeline is nearly in line with the RVM.
On a technical aspect, there are options to turn off the display and only illuminate it when the verbal instructions are given. Is this useful? I am thinking more of long-distance motorway sloggs etc?
