I agree with what you say. When I had my data issue the first the unit was by the windshield on a non slip pad.

I have used my 810 on the seat for hours with maemo mapper and don't remember seeing a time where it did not maintain a 3d lock. For me the seat next to me does not seem to be too bad a location for the gps.
