Can we keep GPS unikts attached to the windshield ?

I know it was against the law in MN in the past, but I was sure they changed it recently.

Anybody know if we can hang our GPS unit on the windshield ?

Exception IV is my response, I always attach mine to the right side of the mirror.

Thank you for taking time to search for this, I should have done it myself.
