I use the Scosche MMWSM-XCES0 MagicMount. Goes on the bottom left of the windshield. Phone is sideways/landscape. This lets the phone's bottom edge rest on the flat portion of the dash for extra support. It kinda just blends in with the dash.

I prefer it being up there for using maps. Then I'm not looking down around the radio/HVAC area for map directions.

The main downside is the suction cup is attached to the dash when not in use. I always remove it if I'm not using it, so the suction cup leaves dirt/grime on the windshield. Nothing a rag and glass cleaner can't fit, but it does look like crap right on your windshield.

... the mount has now lost it suction after about 2-3 year of constant removal. Only a weekend car, so it's not a everyday.

I've also seen some people bring up possible issues with magnets and electronics/phones. I recall the days when you shouldn't put a powerful magnet near older computers in the mid-2000's and earlier. I don't think they'd sell magnetic mounts if they did significant damage to phones. I've seen no issues with maps, GPS, battery life, etc with magnetic mounts over years of using them.
