Does anyone have a recommendation for one of these, please? What do people think about phone holders that you mount on an air vent?

Snap, so do I brilliant bit of kit a real travellers friendBeing a quality Apple product mine has a number of uses that only involve verbal commands.
With "hey siri" enabled I can tell it to call the motorhome storage number to open the gates.
I can anywhere in my journey tell it to "get directions" to where I want to be and it quickly opens google maps and commences navigation. I can tell it to text someone to say I'll be late etc etc etc

Thank you, but I was thinking of using a navigation app on my iPhone - not playing games or responding to social media.My recommendation would be the back seat or in a bag where it can't distract you when someone texts, facebook messages you or other beeps/alarms or dings. But that is just me

My comments were a bit tongue in cheek as I did realise what you wanted it for.Thank you, but I was thinking of using a navigation app on my iPhone - not playing games or responding to social media.
No offence taken! And I do take your point.My comments were a bit tongue in cheek as I did realise what you wanted it for.
However I do believe using a phone for satnav in a vehicle is to be avoided unless you have a way of switching off all sounds/notifications. If your phone is anything like mine it is silent for days, yet the second I start driving anywhere long distance it starts beeping and whistling at me with 10's sometime 50+ messages during a long trip. Having it on the dashboard somewhere opens you up to un-needed distractions. I literally leave mine in the back to prevent the distraction. All it takes is for a beep at just the wrong time and a quick glance.....
The cheap chinese satnavs that are very popular with funsters have a 7" screen are much more readable than a phone (no peering needed) and don't distract with whatsapp and facebook messages... I believe they are below £40 now though I haven't looked for a while.
I wasn't meaning to offend you...
