Trucknav mounting ideas?

I’ve recently purchased a trucknav sat nav with built in dash cam. The suction cup physically screws into the unit itself, meaning to remove it from the window, you would have to un screw it every time or take the cup with it :confused:
If you was doing multidrop, depending on where you are delivering (the rougher areas) it would be a ball ache.
Anybody with the same unit (n6x) found a click on off type mounting kit for it or would you just pop it of via the suction cup and drop it in a storage compartment?

I got a holder from Halfords that was plenty big enough to hold a tablet (I used it for a Hudl2 at the time but it holds my 10" Lenovo Tablet too) it was a suction mount and the cradle had spring loaded lugs that held the tablet in place, however after a quick search of Halfords online it appears they don’t sell them anymore (online anyway) so I looked on Amazon and they have plenty similar…

Like this one for example…

If it screws into the unit is it using the same AMPS mount thread as cameras do? If so that opens up a whole raft of options.

Is it still illegal to mount one where it blocks any part of the windscreen view :question:

Not if you look at the windscreen on my allocated truck after any one of our night men have been driving it…[emoji85][emoji85][emoji85]

I’ll have to look into this, never heard of the Amps thing.

I thought you could mount them any place it doesn’t obstruct your line of sight?
