Think your portable GPS would work great mounted to your old Cessna
172's instrument panel? If the FAA has its way, you won't be able to
mount it. The parts-panel dock and connective wiring-needed to mount
your portable GPS would either no longer be available or be too
expensive to buy.

Perhaps I'm missing something, here. What is there to buy besides a
sheet of stock aluminum and a few screws? The "wiring" comes with the
portable GPS in the way of the remote antenna lead and power
connector.

I think the big thingis they are going to go after the Air Gizmo panel dock.

I think I'm going to go ahead and order mine for the homebuilt I'm building.
