I needed something to hold my GPS while driving so I could see it. I did not want to modify the car, so I built a box. It hold a battery and a charger inside, and the GPS sits on top. I painted the entire box black, so the GPS will show clearly. I am not a carpenter, but I want to see how well this works. I should get a cord for my phone, too.
I also spent part of the day regripping my golf clubs, and setting up a table of supplies to build a rear axle.Made a box today for my GPS

I have a Garmin similar to that one a Nuvi 2555 with lifetime maps and am very happy with it.

Re: Made a box today for my GPS
It is an old Garmin. She even gets lost sometimes or tells me to turn right and there is only a road to the left. I usually use my phone when the Garmin seems to be wrong, or I google map it before I leave for my trip.
