How Do I Put It in My Car?
Safety considerations
Don’t install any device where it will block your view (including
your mirrors!) while you’re driving.
Keep your attention on the road!
Don’t try to operate or focus
on
any device
while you’re driving. If you have to concentrate
on a device, pull off the road for a few minutes.
Some states have rules about what kind of devices you can
affix to your car’s windshield and where exactly you can put
them. If you’re not sure if there are any applicable laws in your
state, contact the state agency that issues drivers’ licences.
It’s a good idea to take valuable items with you when you
leave you car—that includes GPS devices. If you can’t take
the device with you, lock it in the glove compartment or hide
it somewhere. And don’t forget to take down the windshield
mount: you don’t want to remind any potential thieves that you
might have some valuable mobile electronics in the car.
Don’t leave the device in direct sunlight for a long period of
time or where the temperature could go above 140º F (60º C).
