Once plugged into the power source, the GPS is just needed to be cased into a weatherproof and heat/magnet resistant cover to ensure its safety amid constant exposure on the road.
If you have a battery-operated GPS, use the set of batteries to power it and place it above the dashboard (or a place that's more suitable) covered with a well-secured GPS case.
Note: Always ensure that the GPS stand and case are placed on a surface that is smooth and flat to ensure greater stability of the GPS device.
