I'd say higher up mounting for a 5" for sure. Anything above that is questionable. Maybe 7" go console and 8" or above is fine on the floor (or closer if you want).
Tony had his 8" on the floor and it was easy to read from the seat still. I made brackets to put Andy's i the same spot. This one is a 10" though.

A center console does get the thing a bit closer to you, so those are nice too, but a bit more work depending on what you do.
Or.... you can always use the handy dandy "co-pilot lap mount" as well. I brought my 8" along for the Baja run a couple years ago when I rode with Matt & he didn't have a GPS. Just have the co-pilot bring their own GPS and you'll save some cash. I've got a cigarette lighter power cord deal I made for mine that made it quick & easy to use in any rig.
