5.0 out of 5 stars The best dashboard friction mount that Garmin makes, June 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount (Electronics)
Length:: 3:21 Mins

I have owned several dashboard mounts for the nuvi and I like this one the best. I thought that I would give prospective buyers a "virtual" hands-on demo by recording this video review. I hope that it is helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Design- leaves marks on dash, March 27, 2009
By bobamoo (Greensboro, NC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount (Electronics)
I already have the "bean bag" mount and was glad to see this new, updated design, so I ordered. It does look more "factory". Was unpleasantly surprised when it arrived. The main upper portion is a pliable plastic that molds to the contours of your dash. The bottom, though, is a strange feeling silicone, that leaves your fingers feeling like you just handled a silicone spray or lubricant. Right on the packaging, but hidden from view until you remove the mount, is a message about cleaning residue left behind on your dash. Indeed, it even left an imprint mark on my kitchen counter while I was reading the packaging! Who wants to clean up a silicone stain every time you use it. I've already sent it back and will stick with the bean bag.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better looking than the bean bag and it flies, May 8, 2009
This review is from: Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount (Electronics)
Got it to replace the Garmin bean bag friction mount. The base of this unit allows twisting to conform to the curves and contour of the dash.

This base will not move on the dash as it has a "sticky" base, however, the base and the mounted GPS toppled and rolled off my dash and landed on the front passenger seat when I cornered at moderate speed.

So while it won't slide, it can fly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well
Stays in place well and works nicely as a replacement to the suction cup mount. I like this mount and the Garmin bean bag mount equally well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking unit but haven't used yet.
Quite honestly, I haven't used it yet as I bought it without realizing I might not use it or need it. It looks easy to use but I'll see later.

This is a nifty way to place a GPS wherever it works best for you. My Garmin suction cup failed and I bought this to hold the GPS in a place where I could see it easily. Read more
