Where do you store your gps after you’re done using it?
Are there other alternatives to viewing your gps in your car rather than the mount?
Is it ok to store your gps in your car during a hot day?

Ideally, it is best to take the complete mount and GPS PND with you when leaving your vehicle. If this is not possible, consider where you will leave a Wallet or a cell phone. I would say the safest place in your car would be in the trunk, and if you own an SUV or Truck, than the glove box would be an option but lock it.
You don’t want to leave an evidence that there is a GPS mounted in your vehicle before, the windshield mount will leave a ring mark that will tip off the potential thief that there could possibly be a GPS in your vehicle.
These theft are usually a crime of opportunity, so don’t make it to easy for the thief’s and you should be fine.
The other good reason NOT to store your GPS inside your windshield is that the heat from the sun will dramatically shorten the life of your internal battery so you want to keep it away from the sun in a shady location if possible.
Good Luck
