Electronics : Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount for nüvi Series and StreetPilot C5XX Series GPS Navigators (C530, C550, and C580)

Rating: - Works great if dash has room
I first used a Garmin GPS and portable friction dashtop mount on a business trip. It was such a great convenience that upon my return home I bought a Nuvi 350 and the dashtop mount. The mount sticks well to just about any surface, making it easy to rely on your GPS for guidance. It's also convenient.You can store it and your Nuvi under the seat or in the trunk upon arriving to your destination, a great theft deterrent. However, the dash on my car is rather limited in space. The windshield is raked back and there is very little clearance. If I take off too abruptly, my Nuvi falls off. This is due to my car's interior more than the dash mount. It works really well if you have the space. A really great product!

Rating: - It stays put!
The mount really works and stays put. It's convenient because its easy to move from vehicle to vehicle. You don't smear the windshield like the supplied window mount does.

Rating: - An edge over suction cap
This holds your GPS securely and the non slip bottom ensures that it won't slide when you swerve your car.

This is way better then the default suction cap that come with the GPS. Contrary to what other says, this thing fits nicely in my glove compartment.

Rating: - Better than expected
This thing actually stays put on the dash in our Mustang and our truck. It works better than expected. I'm still unimpressed with the spring loaded ball mount that Garmin uses. It pops loose every time I try to reposition the GPS on the ball mount. Fortunately, it snaps right back on.

Rating: - California driving
Purchased this because I travel to Calif a lot and they have a law that you can't have your GPS stuck to the windshield. It works great for dashboard, but it's heavy so it adds extra weight to your luggage.
