Has anyone here ever received a citation in CA for mounting a portable GPS to the windshield? |

No, but I almost never mounted my GPS unit via suction cup to the windshield anyway. I use https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=8100 instead. FWIW, I've had my radar detector mounted via suction cups to my windshield for >3 years in CA and not ever gotten pulled over or a ticket for it (yet). | |

From 1998 to 2002 when I lived back in the high desert I also mounted a radar detector on the windshield of my cars and never got any grief for it. Might be one of those unenforced laws... |

It stuck well against the plastic circle at first but then kept falling. I tried the windshield and it didn't hold well either. | |
