Amazon.com

Garmin and Amazon.com have teamed up to offer this item in Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging, a recyclable, easy-to-open alternative to traditional packaging. Products in Frustration-Free Packaging are exactly the same--we've just streamlined the packaging. A Frustration-Free Package comes without wire ties, hard plastic "clamshell" casings, and plastic bindings. It's designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging. This item ships in its own box, without the need for an additional shipping box. Learn more about Frustration-Free Packaging.

Keep your nüvi in place with this portable friction mount. It'll keep everything in plain sight when you need it and out of the way when you don't. The arm attachment connects directly to your GPS device, and once you've adjusted it to your liking, locks into place. Avoid the "wing around the windshield" syndrome that accompanies windshield mounts.

Perfect for locales where window-mounting is prohibited or those who simply prefer a quick way to mount/unmount their nüvi/StreetPilot device.

My Favorite GPS Mount So Far

ByS. Bejsteron February 1, 2017

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

This thing is great. I rely on the voice assist on my GPS to help me avoid looking down while driving, but sometimes it can't be avoided. I've tried many different GPS mounts with different vehicles over the years and this is by far my favorite. It is very well weighted and stays on the top of my dashboard while driving. A quick glance and I can read the GPS.

Another advantage of this is that once the mounting bar is in place, you can either lock it in place (so you would have to move the whole thing around to change the angle) or leave it unlocked and it will turn 360 degrees horizontally as needed. The mounting bar doesn't turn without assistance so I will probably never lock it.

I have one of those dashboard compartments so if it is particularly sunny or I am on a bumpy road, I can place it in there to help shade it and keep it in place.

Works perfect, hasn't moved an inch

ByKatelynTOP 1000 REVIEWERon February 21, 2016

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I bought this for my garmin gps. I was having issues with the suction cup on my windshield because I couldn't reach the gps. Someone recommend to me I get a dash mount. I was hesitant because my dash is very curvy and I thought there was no way that it would stay in place (especially since I am not the most, lets say, steady driver). Much to my surprise this hasn't moved one inch since I put it in my vehicle. Perfect!

Great GPS Mount for Flat Dashboard Vehicles

ByKevinon August 26, 2013

Package Type: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

The number one problem that I have had with GPS mounts is that they always fall off the windshield at the most inconvenient times hitting the gear selector and sometimes creating dangerous situations. After having this happen on the highway one day, I decided I wouldn't do this anymore and decided to investigate other options.

Fast-forward and I found this. The Garmin portable friction mount is a great product IF you have a flat dashboard that you can place this on. If you do not, such as some older Jeep Liberty's, this product is worthless and won't be able to be used. I found this out the hard way when I took it out of my car and attempted to use it in my girlfriends Jeep. Luckily we had the windshield mount to fall back on.

The mount is solid and relatively heavy as well. This product stays firmly in place even when taking corners or stopping quickly. The center that the mount itself links too has a solid metal base, but is slightly raised on my product meaning that I do not have to worry about my dashboard getting scratched.

The product itself is a bit larger than I expected, and does have to sit slightly more forward than I would prefer in my car (sloped coupe windshield) but it does not hang off the front either.

Overall this is a quality product that works as expected. Slightly larger than I had expected but having put it through it's paces in terms of trying to get it to move, I can say that the extra size and surface area probably is what is keeping it firmly planted to my dashboard. I'd highly recommend this, but make sure your dashboard can accommodate the size of this product.

Not the product the picture showed...

What I got was not like what was pictured. It is flat with a rubbery bottom and not the beanbag type showed.

Best Solution for NUVI in my Prius and my Ford: Theft Protection As Well!!

ByTelemachuson June 1, 2007

Package Type: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

My Prius has a rough dashboard and a windshield that slopes very sharply. Thus, the suction cup mounts are not good solutions. Fortunately, the friction mount is a great solution. It works much better than I expected. Very stable, does not slide, and lets me adjust my Nuvi to a variety of different angles. I can place the GPS anywhere on the dash or even on the center console. Also works great when transferred to my wife's Ford.

Only downside to the device is that it has a rather large footprint, but not prohibitively large. I like the fact that I can easily use this in both of our family vehicles depending on where we need the GPS.

UPDATE: Now that I have used this mount regularly since May, I have to say this is the best mounting solution I've found for a GPS or any other device for my car. It hasn't slid out of place once!! Given the rise in GPS units being stolen from cars, this mount allows you to easily stash your GPS Unit and mount out of sight and then put it back into position with ease.

2009 Update: Still using this in my Prius and my wife has one too. It's held up quite well. It IS a bit bulky to store out of the way when not in use, but still a good solution. I usually remove my GPS from the mount (a simple process) and then place the mount as far under the seat as it will go. Not perfect, but the best solution I've found to date.

A useful albatross

BySouthern BelleTOP 1000 REVIEWERon August 5, 2015

Package Type: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

I have been using this for over 3'years and I'm still happy with it. My work requires that I rent cars very frequently and this mount and my GPS come along with me on all trips. This holds the GPS unit securely while the weighted base keeps it fairly stable on the car's dashboard. My personal car has a recessed tray in the dash that works very well to prevent this from sliding off. However, in rental cars, I've had this to pitch forward and hit the passenger side floor with hard braking. Was that a test of durability? No problems whatsoever, except for having to pick it up. Oh, and forgot to mention, no more gooey slickly adhesive circles on the dash while using this mount.

I had been tempted to buy a newer, more sleek-looking GPS mount until I realized that it wouldn't fit the recessed dash tray. So, though this black nylon has faded to more of an OD green from years in the sunshine, it is still 100% intact, works perfectly well! and will continue to be my travel partner as long as I'm renting cars.

If you found anything in this review to be helpful, then please click "yes". Thanks!!

Exceeds expectations

My previous car had a built-in GPS nav system. The car I just bought doesn't - so I just made my first GPS purchase. I got the Garmin DriveSmart 60 LMT (which I highly recommend).Read more

LEO friendly.

Fits perfectly on my dash! Recommended for LEO's. The only time it moves or falls is when you take a sharp turn or brake very hard.

Still good!

My prior stand finally broke. I probably stepped on it in the car. They've changed the stuffing from sand to rocks and the trim is plastic instead of the prior ripstop material...Read more
