Went to Office Depot and picked up a Magellan GPS system advertised on sale today, $50 off and $50 gas card too. What in the heck was in Magellan's mind when they created this windshield mount for the GPS systems? When attached to the windshield it looks like a police light stuck on. WTF?

Mount that on your Marauder and everyone will think you are a ghost car.

Is it actually illuminated or is it just blue plastic?

GPS mount.....

No. It's simply a blue suction cup. After dark. nobody would even notice it. But in daylight it looks like you have a blue light attached to windshield.

Keyboard.....

Yes. It lights up and illuminates the keys.
