5.0 out of 5 stars BEST mount for my Garmin, TomTom and Magellan GPS Receivers !, January 13, 2008
My husband and I absolutely love this Gilsson portable mount !!! We own a Garmin Nuvi 350, Magellan Maestro and a TomTom One and this mount works well with all of them, even with our aggressive driving style in a Lotus Elise sports car ! We have tried both the Garmin Friction Mount as well as the Bracketron Nav-Mat beanbag mounts and found this Gilsson mount to be most stable for several reasons: (1) This Gilsson Mount is heavier than Nav-Mat and Garmin Mounts, (2) Gilsson Mount is square-shape, allowing one to point the corners of the mount toward the windshield and the driver, thereby creating a longer "moment arm", effectively making the mount to be more stable and less likely to tilt or fall off the dashboard (3) The non-skid material surface area on the Gilsson mount is larger than Garmin and Nav-Mat mounts, thereby making it even more resistant to skidding and sliding. One of our friends has a Toyota Prius with slanted dashboard and have had no problems with this Gilsson mount staying at the same spot. This mount is made of high quality and durable neoprene / wet-suit material, I am sure you will be very happy with it !

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent stability even for 4.3" GPS, January 5, 2008
By fredf888 (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This mount is quite large and measures about 7.5" square. It can accomodate suction cups up to 3.25" in diameter. I chose this over the round Bracketron Nav-Mat mount because this has a diamond shape that fits (wedges in) perfectly between the 2 humps on my Toyota Highlander's dash. It also fits very well in my Toyota Prius which has a flat dashboard.
The mount is absolutely stable under all driving conditions. The non-skid material is so good that I think nothing short of a collision will make it slide. I am using it with a Mio C520 which has a 4.3" screen.
Before buying this, you should make sure your dashboard is big enough to take this 7.5" square (or diamond shape) mount. If not, you should consider the smaller Bracketron Nav-Mat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Substantial support for TomTom 720, January 3, 2008
By Charles (Bedford, MA) - See all my reviews
This beanbag offers a stable platform to hold the standard TomTom support's suction cup. However, the standard TomTom mounting arm is pretty short and doesn't leave much room to access the USB connector while on the bag. So, if you want to keep your TomTom plugged in to the car's power outlet while it is attached to the bag, you may want to consider TomTom's alternative mounting kit (approx $30), which has a longer arm, making it easier to attach and detach the USB connector.
The beanbag looks well made - the metal plate is held in place by four set screws, which presumably means you could remove/replace it (though I'm not sure why you'd want to!)
The manufacturer recommends mounting the beanbag diagonally (with a corner facing travel direction) for optimal stability. Presumably that maximizes how much of the bag's friction is available to counteract forward motion. That's worth bearing in mind depending on the depth of your dash.

5.0 out of 5 stars dashboard mount GPS
Bought this item to place GPS on dash instead of window. It works great, stays in place and is easy to hide when the car is parked.
It makes reading the GPS easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make sure you get one for each car! No more rings on your window.
