    Has anyone seen something like the Go Pro mount in the 2016 Tacoma available for sale that would allow you to attach a Garmin Nuvi style GPS to it in the same / similar location?

    So you basically want a ball on one end and a three-slot on the other end?

    You'll need this: http://www.amazon.com/Harley-Motorcycle-Garmin-Holder-Honda/dp/B00HO15HRY

    They screw together (both use standard 1/4-20" camera tripod thread). Then you'd still need the "shoe" that clips into the GoPro adhesive base.

    Note the Garmin ball is 17mm. You may come across brackets with a larger RAM-Mount 1" ball, which won't fit the Garmin directly.

    Alternatively you can get a low-profile Garmin ball mount that glues to the windshield or dash directly:
