Does the GPSV require any installation?

Absolutely not. The GPSV comes with a tilt/swivel mount for the dashboard. Or you can simply velcro it in a suitable place.

If you would like to place the GPSV elsewhere in the vehicle, you can purchase an external aerial, which plugs in the back of the GPS, with a cord which runs up through the door rubber, and a magnetic pad for the car roof. Or you can have it suction cupped on the inside of the windscreen, where it does not have to be removed every time you leave the car.
