Hey folks, looking for any advice on mounting locations for the Garmin GTP 59 temperature probe. If you use this unit where did you mount yours?
As with any Garmin device the install guidelines seem written like puzzle clues indicating only a single satisfactory spot if only you can decipher them.

To wit:
- Do not mount the GTP 59 where aircraft exhaust gases will flow over it.
- Do not mount the GTP 59 where it would be affected by heated air from the engine or exhaust. On most aircraft this includes any location downstream of the engine compartment.
- The GTP 59 must be exposed to the outside airflow. Do not mount the GTP 59 in a sheltered location where it is not exposed to outside airflow (for example, inside a wing or landing gear bay).
- For best results, do not mount the GTP 59 where it will be directly heated by the sun when the aircraft is parked.
