Great option for dash mounting our Garmin Although there are already well over 2000 reviews, I wanted to add my own in response to some of the negative comments. I hesitated before purchasing this mount because it looked huge in the picture. However, we did not want to deal with sticky mounts and wanted to be able to use whatever solution we had in two different vehicles. For security, we also wanted to be able to quickly remove the GPS unit itself.
After watching the video review posted by another person here, the size of the mount was easy to see and we decided to give it a try. We have been extremely happy with the purchase. The mount is made of high quality materials, stays in place without any issues, and works flawlessly with our Garmin.
Several reviewers complained about the size in relation to the mount being too bulky to store in the glove box or other locations. I was baffled by these comments, personally, because we leave the mount in the car all the time. We do not feel it is necessary to "secure" the mount itself, only the GPS unit. We simply remove the GPS unit with one hand and store it away or tuck it in our pocket/bag after putting it in a protective case.
Other comments pertained to the mount sliding around after a while, and hypothesized it was due to prolonged exposure to heat and/or cold. Since we have purchasd the mount, we have been in temperatures between 25 and 100 degrees and experienced no residual issues. Our dashes tend to get very dusty, especially during the Spring, but that did not cause our mount to slide around or move out of place.
I have been in vehicles with very awkward hand/or small dash space, so if your dash is very small/awkward or your car extremely small, this mount will probably not meet your needs. However, even a window mounted GPS unit by itself would be a problem in a very small car. Overall, we highly recommend this for use with the compatible Garmin GPS units.
One great dash mount! The Garmin dash mount sticks on the dash where it is put, and that is a good thing. John N.
Great Item Highly recommend. I can put in anywhere on the dash, and it doesn't move. I prefer it in the corner so it isn't as distracting.
garmin friction mount This item does exactly what it is advertised to do- keep the GPS in place. My dissatisfaction is that it is made in China and there is a warning that toxic chemicals are used in the product. The packaging is a thick plastic which is difficult to open.
A 2nd Great! Bought a 2nd one for my 27 year old daughter. She loves it as much as I love mine.
