depending on the GPS unit, you might want to use the windsheild mount with the suction cup. The receiver will need a clear view of the sky so it can track the satellites.
I've seen vent mounts, which clip to the vent grille, and I've seen cup-holder mounts, which sit in the cup holder. If you have the bluetooth GPS unit you can rest that up at the front of the dash, and all you have to worry about is the visibility of the PDA screen. I'd try to mount it so you don't have to look too far away from the road to see it.
Here are a couple of sources:

i'm going to take the serial cable from it and connect it to the jornada 568, and it will show up as a com device on the jornada, but the gps is going to sit on the floor right by the console....i tried just to be sure, and it got signal down there, so i wont have to order a 70 dollar cf gps card
