Dedicated GPS units come with mounts that make them easy to view in your car. That's an advantage they have over smartphones, but it's a small one. There are no shortage of accessories that can hold your phone in the same way.Some options are more annoying than others. Sticking a mount to a window can take a while to get right, and it's not legal in some localities. I prefer to stick a mount on my air vent or CD slot instead. But even then, the grips often require both hands. An easier approach, for people willing to stick a metal plate to the back of their phone, is to use magnets instead.Nekteck (no, this isn't a company that makes advanced neckties) produces phone mounts that do precisely this. You adhere a metal plate to the backside of your device, and then using the mount should be as straightforward as putting your phone in place. Alternatively, you can stick a non-adhesive metal plate between a phone and its case (not included). Whether you want to use it vertically or horizontally shouldn't matter.

Pretend that isn't an iPhone. Your phone should work, too.

On Amazon, you can grab a unit that slides into your air vent or into your CD slot, whichever you prefer. The latter costs a dollar more at $15.99, but the core functionality is the same. Whichever way you go, you can save $7 by entering the coupon code DF7XWPDX at checkout.
