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

Rating: - Handy to have
This is handy device that is dedicated to many Garmin GPS units. It is weighted enough to hold itself on various dashes. The surface is rather "grippy" and holds my Garmin even on very rough 4X4 roads.

This temporary mounting makes it easy to "hide" or remove GPS when parked and easy to move from vehicle to vehicle.

Rating: - Much better than the windshield mount.
I use this with my nuvi 750 in a full size pickup truck and even on very twisty bumpy dirt roads the friction mount just doesn't move, period. It's so much easier to use and more convenient than the windshield mount I see no reason to ever use anything else.

Rating: - Great Product
I was not wanting to purchase a GPS unit if it meant having to only mount in using a window mount. My dashboard mount works GREAT and stays put no matter the road conditions.

Rating: - Agree with most of the other reviews
I purchased this dashboard mount for my wife's 2008 Dodge minivan and the NUVi 660 I bought her for Mother's Day. It sits nicely on the dash and does not move or slide around. It is easy to adjust. The only "criticism" might be where the connection is when you use the car adaptor - it is a rather tight fit IF you have everything connected already. Not really an issue, though. If you have a NUVI and you have a nice flat surface on your dashboard, I highly recommend you get this mount.

Rating: - Really nice piece
Really nice thing and stays on the dashboard very well. I haven't taken reallly hard turns though, but the experience so far seems that the traction is sufficient.
