There are base weighted and windshield suction type phone holders. But
in my desert climate leaving any electronics on the dash in direct
sunlight for any length of time can and usually does cause damage. YMMV.

In the summer here it's wise to not even leave electronics in the car as
inside temperatures can go well over 150F.

You supplied AAA with start and end info. Within a week or so the stuff
arrived in the snail mail. It was paper maps with the route blacked in.
Also there was a spiral bound tablet with only the route from the top of
the page to the bottom of the page. You could lay it near you and flip
the pages as you went, so you didn't have to unfold the map while driving.

In the coincidence department, I have an email service from the US Post
Office that sends me photos of the mail that will arrive later today. I
just checked moments ago and I have mail from AAA. It says on the front
"We want you back!". Do they monitor Usenet??

Yes. Very handy...
