1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and dangerous, March 7, 2008

At first, this unit worked great. A couple of weeks later, the Garmin suction unit kept falling off it. Thankfully, my Garmin GPS unit was not on it. This happened more and more as time went on. I finally put tape on the Garmin suction unit to hold it securely onto this base.

Take Garmin's advice and buy one of theirs. It has a fixed mount on the base which does not come off. It was too late for me to change the order from Semson (the manufacturer), but Garmin said they would match their price...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Base, March 16, 2008

This is a great universal friction mount. I used to own a Nuvi 350 with Garmin friction mount. Unfortunately, Garmin friction mount only works with Garmin unit and does not work with my new TomTom One XL-S.

i.Trek mount base is heavy and solid. I especially like the universal design. The bottom has rubber anti-skid pad which sticks to my dash better than Garmin friction mount.

Both Garmin and TomTom factory windshield mounts are pretty useless which becomes weak after few weeks of use. I strongly recommend Arkon suction cup windshield mounts. It works great with i.Trek friction mount base. I have not experienced mount falling off even once during past 5 months of use.

Very fast shipping by vendor. There were no instructions with this product but if you keep the GPS mounting surface clean, make sure your dash is not dirty and keep the silicon base clean (don't sit it on a dirty floor mat)this product works great. I use it with a Magellan 4250 and it is very stable.
