The best dashboard friction mount that Garmin makes
        
Length:: 3:21 Mins

I have owned several dashboard mounts for the nuvi and I like this one the best. I thought that I would give prospective buyers a "virtual" hands-on demo by recording this video review. I hope that it is helpful.

Hold on Nuvi, We are Going for a Ride !! !!
  
After doing hours of research for a dash mount for my Garmin Nuvi 205w, I decided to give this one a try, and so glad that I did. I looked at the bean bag one and this one, and really wanted a smaller footprint and less bulky mount to put up on my dash. I was concerned about this mount and it rolling, flipping, or tumbling off the dash. To my surprise and delight it never moved !! I have tried it in both of our cars, even used it in the van for our vacation. Fits all three and sits there holding it's position. Some have made notes about a residue that is left behind, I experienced this in 2 of our vehicles, but when I cleaned the car and wiped the dash down, the `residue' was gone. Most likely from the silicone bottom on the mount that holds it in place. Love the flexibility and the fact that you can bent this mount to contour to your dash, and then the swivel mount allows you to adjust the Garmin to see it at any angle. Mounted in my car I took a few corners hard to try and tumble the mount w/ the Garmin, but no luck, it just sat there telling me where to go "literally". Granted I am sure you can tumble it of the dash if you hit a hard core bump or drive erratically, but everyday driving & circumstances it does it's job. If the bottom silicone gets icky from lint, dirt, debris, all you have to do is wipe it down with a cloth and good as new !!

Love the look, the small foot print, and the flexibility. I would recommend this mount to anyone that is looking for a more stylish, but completely functional dash mount, that can go with you most anywhere and in any vehicle.

Loving my Garmin Mount & Garmin Nuvi 205W...

Better looking than the bean bag and it flies
Got it to replace the Garmin bean bag friction mount. The base of this unit allows twisting to conform to the curves and contour of the dash.

This base will not move on the dash as it has a "sticky" base, however, the base and the mounted GPS toppled and rolled off my dash and landed on the front passenger seat when I cornered at moderate speed.

So while it won't slide, it can fly!

Nice Item
Very good item. This product securely holds your Garmin GPS on the dash of your automobile. So much more convient vs the suction device.

No Longer Lost
The basic window mount broke for my garmin gps after only several uses, so I had to look for another mount.
by Texas Driver

Not flexible
Love the firm mount, but the base appeared to be flexible, which it is not. On my dash, which is far from flat, it rather perches there, looking like it's about to fall off.

Best garmin mount
By far the best friction mount available. Flexible and "sticky" enough for any dashboard configuration. I've used it in many rental cars as well as my own vehicle.
by J. L. Pittenger

Works well
It holds the GPS up very well and doesn't come close to falling over or sliding at all while driving.

Works exactly as advertised
I bought this for my Sebring as the original GPS suction cup mount died. This sits flat on the dash under all driving conditions, and holds the GPS more stably (less shaking and...

Stays Put
I've had this friction mount for about a month now and have had no problems with slipping or toppling over.
by PWH-50

Works well in a range of cars
Just as I expected. It would have been an advantage if the mount 'arm' was able to be reversed - putting the 'narrow' end facing the driver.
by DTee

Great mount
This mount is great. The flexibility of this item will contour to any dash. Would recommend this item to anyone purchasing a new GPS.
by Yogi

So far so good
I bought this to replace a bean bag style unit that did not last a year. So far so good. It is a bit unconventional in shape, but it has worked well in our Grand Cherokee and our...
