Puts your phone’s navigation into your line of sight instead of down in the centre console. The unit sits on the dashboard, your phone lies face-up in the cradle, and the angled screen reflects the directions so you read them without taking your eyes off the road.

Why bother

Glancing down at a phone in a cradle is the moment most near-misses happen. Touching a handheld phone at the wheel is 6 penalty points and a £200 fine — and within two years of passing your test, 6 points means your licence is revoked.

Features

• Works with any navigation app — Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps
• Fits any phone up to roughly 6.5 inches
• Readable in daylight, dims naturally at night
• Choice of non-slip silicone pad or 3M adhesive base
• Some versions include wireless charging — see the options above
• No wiring into the car and no dashboard drilling

Fitting

Sit it on a flat section of dashboard ahead of the wheel, where the reflection lands just below your normal view of the road. Check it does not block your view of the road or your instruments — anything obstructing the windscreen or your sightline can be an MOT and insurance issue.
