There has to be a better way to hold the GPS. I’m going to use velcro. I don’t like having things blocking the windshield.

This mount really does the job. Streamline in appearance with excellent, firm holding on the dash in everyday driving. It exceeded my expectations.

This is an awful product. It doesn’t adhere to the dashboard and, especially as many cars have different styles of dashboards, there are many that it is too ill-fitting to be used upon. Also, when you’re trying to adjust the Garmin to the best angle for viewing, it often pops off of the device which leaves you trying to re-attach it over and over again. Very disappointing and worth zero stars but I had to give it a one for rating purposes. I’m sorry I didn’t return it immediately.

I was skeptical about buying this product at first. When I got it I was even more doubtful that it would work well since it was so light weight and small. How could this stay in place? Boy was I wrong. The rubber has a piece of metal in it so you can mold it to the dash board. The backing is just like one of those rubber lint rollers with a tacky side. I took really hard turns on exit ramps and it did not fall over. It holds in place solid. I did get a residual wet mark on the dash board kind of like when you use armour all and do not blend it in well. It does just wipe off with the palm of your hand though. I would recommend placing it in a zip lock bag or something when you take it down so it does not collect junk from under the seat. Clean up is easy with just soapy water and let air dry when too much dust accumulates. This is better than the bean bag.
I would also like to add that the reviewers saying this product falls off their dash is most likely because they do not clean their dashboard. Just like a lint brush, you must remove the lint for it to work!

After struggling with the friction / suction mount for our Garmin and juggling the GPS between 2 vehicles, we found this mount. I was concerned it would not be secure, but it works perfectly on local roads or highway trips.
