I prefer up and in front of me..... another idea if you're using that mirror hole for something else..... years ago I had this bracket, it is steel and pre-drilled/tapped for a standard Garmin cradle. Straight up and then angled forward..... you can easily make one and any height you want.
I put this on my VFR, and sideways cradle is for a Garmin 396.
I like it a lot, it's genius. Right where the GPS should be, and a good alternative to a dash shelf. Wish I'd known about it back in the day of my FJR. I have a similar setup on the Versys.
