With our busy lifestyle, we sometimes spend as much time in the car as in our offices. Our cars end up not only as second homes; they are also second offices. We make calls, update our connectivity through FB, receive and send emails. Why, we can even read up on our favorite magazines while waiting for the traffic light to change. On top of this, we try to find directions to where we are going.

All these are possible with gadgets and devices that we carry around. We carry our smart phones and iPads in our bags all the time. Devices that we use only in the car usually have permanent storage spaces. GPS car mounts are such devices. Some mounts can also be installed at the back of the front seat for iPads and cell phones.
