    Having this stand with me on all my business trips has made it easier to move it around different vehicles, it is worth having one.

    The friction mount is easy to set up and easy to use. It works great on all surfaces and most cars. However, the platform is a bit big and it is hard to adjust when your dashboard is in an inclide position. However, I do recomend this product because it does what it says.

    Great overall, really tacky and doesn't slide. The only reason for 4 stars is that it doesn't hold the gps up all the time.

    Works as advertised. Lower plate is flexible so you can mold to shape for your dash. Found it works best if GPS unit is lowered to the lowest position, in other words the bottom of the GPS is down against the mounting base. I use in 3/4 ton truck, which isn't the smoothest ride, and find it never moves.

    I was inpressed with this product and like the fact that the base was flexible and would mold a little to the dash shape. My Honda Oddysee had too many curves and line so I had to take it back but still thought it would have been a good buy if my dash would have had a flat area to put it on.

    It's a stable platform for the larger GPS units but the mounting arm isn't long enough to provide enough clearance between the base and the bottom of a large GPS making it difficult to adjust the screen angle. I have used one of these for years on a smaller unit in my work truck and it has held up very well.

    I had the old style bean bag type before. It worked OK This one seems to have a better friction mount and is made where you can bend it to fit the contour of the dash. It stays in place well & is a good alternative to the windshield mount. It works much better than that.

    It works better than the window mount which would come loose inadvertently and damaged my previous unit. This one will move if not positioned perfectly and flew across the dash once, so take care to make sure it sits well so that it doesn't rock in place.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review over the Portable Auto Friction Mount. There is a plastic cover on the bottom of the mount, before use you will want to remove it. Please contact our Customer Service team at http://www.garmin.com/support if the problem continues.

    works great. does not move. I used it on a long trip and it left an indentation mark on the dash. I left it on the dash during the day and after reaching our destination I removed it so it would not draw attention to my truck.

    Good product. Good weight. No stick-em on the bottom so it holds via friction. However, it is heavy enough to hold my GPS unit in place. Included alarms are good. Easy to set up. Larger screen than my older Nuvi 350. No flip up aerial to get in the way. Automatic map updates.

    I had to replace my 12 year old Tom Tom and mistakenly with a Garmin. That was due to the Best Buy in NJ. The stand was the positive thing bought. I was amazed at how it stayed in place. I won't recommend the Garmin but if someone asked about the stand it would be a positive response.

    Some states in the USA do not allow a GPS to be attached to your windshield and this holder eliminates that issue. It works great anywhere on the dash of your vehicle. It does not move at all when turning corners or stopping quickly. Very easy to attach my Garmin.
