Hello and suggestions welcomed

I just purchased a Smart4Two cabirolet. Just anyone have a suggestion for an in-dash GPS using Garmin? Dale

Welcome.

First, it's smart fortwo, not Smart4Two.

As for the navigation, it really depends upon what your budget is. Kenwood offers several models which all use Garmin GPS.

Not me~! I'm one of those guys who drive around sans GPS, refusing to ask for directions, but some how I always get there . . . where ever 'there' may be. . .
It's my small world, but they know me here . . .
Oh yeah, welcome aboard too!

welcome and enjoy your Smart. I don't go anywhere. I am too poor to even pay attention.

Welcome. I am a BIG Garmin fan. Have a 60csx for my Geocaching hobby and just purchased a 5000 for the Smart/RV from Tigar direct (on sale).
The portable units have a BIG plus over the installed dash type, plug into your pc and get the (norm free) updates. Also they can be moved from one car to another. I just read on an RV form that Costco has a great deal on Garmin GPS's, like under $100. Oh ya, My friend has an in dash unit that has not been updated for 4 years, lots of changes in that time line?

I did a Froogle for gps car mounts. Perhaps one of these might be what you are looking for? Here are some for the air vent.
