Great alternative to stock mount November 1, 2007
Due to my job, I use my Garmin GPS unit in many different cars. I tried using the stock windshield mount, but found that after some time the sticky rubber cup began melting(?) in the hot Southern California sun and would leave parts of rubber behind on windshields, which is not only unsightly but also reduced its ability to stick. In addition, there's a trend of car thieves breaking into cars when they see either the GPS mount or the round mark left by the suction cup when GPS owner attempts to conceal the unit. I know this to be a fact because my coworker lost a unit in exactly this way.
Based on these two reasons, I purchased this friction mount from Amazon.com hoping that it would fulfill three requirements of mine:
1. It does not slide around on the dashboard, regardless of how aggressively I drive.
2. It is quickly transported from vehicle to vehicle.
3. It does not leave marks or anything else to indicate that a GPS unit was in the vehicle.
This unit fulfilled all three requirements admirably. One of the cars I drove rattled to the point where the mount would shift as I drove, but not significantly enough to ding this unit. I definitely wish they sold this unit as the stock mount option for their GPS units, but I can understand the reasoning behind providing the cheaper, semi-permanent mounting option.
No Slip Mount, Great for Rental Cars! November 1, 2007
My recently purchased Nuvi270 worked great on my recent trip to the UK. I was in 3 different rental cars and this non slip bean bag type mount worked brilliantly!
It packs flat when you remove the mounting bracket and fit nicely in my laptop bag along with the necesary cable and gps unit.
 Pretty neat product November 1, 2007
I haven't faced any problem with this product. Stays where we place it without moving at all. Could have been a little smaller in size but no complaints :)
The Perfect Solution November 1, 2007
I purchased this mount for my Nuvi350,as a replacement, after I had to scrape the provided window mount off my windshield and rendered it useless.. This is truly the answer to the perfect mount for the Nuvi. It stays right where you position it, on your dashboard, and yet easy enough to hide if you want to remove it...I feel this should be the mount included when you purchase this product.
Great for my Nuvi 350 November 1, 2007
Tried to install the sticky mount that came with Nuvi 350, but failed to get it to work properly.
Also, I don't like leaving a GPS navigation mount on the dashboard all the time.
It's like inviting thieves to break into a car to steal my precious Nuvi.
Suction cup is out of question for me in California.
I was a bit worried that this may slide off a dashboard with a sudden turn or a stop, but it never moved.
It can be picked up and placed anywhere on the dashboard, which is very convenient.
This mount is easy to take a part for storing.
I would recommend my friends to get this if they own a compatible GPS navigation device.
