Garmin Base

our Dodge van has such a long front dash that we couldn't use the suction cup to attach to the front windshield. This base allows us to use the Garmin without having to "glue" the suction disk to the dashboard. No mess and when not in use there is nothing on the dash...

I like this mount. It doesn't sit properly in the center of my dash due to a tray located there, but it fits nicely in the drivers side corner. Once it is placed, it doesn't move. I have used the suction mount that comes with my GPS & it loses suction sometimes. This mount is a better alternative.

This mount sits on the dash. The bottom is weighted to stay put and flexible to contour to the dash. The GPS mounting arm swivels up and down. When mounted, the Garmin GPS swivels in all directions.

This device slides easily into the center console of my camry - even with the 5" GPS attached. It folds when not attached which allows for easy travel on planes and to my other cars.
The only downside - which hasn't been a problem for me - is that it may shake some on a bumpy road.

Best Garmin Car Mat

There is not a lot to say about this... It is a great mount for your car. The bottom is very "tacky" and stays in place. It is washable if it gets too dust from a dirty dash. The mat portion is flexible and can conform to a curved dash. This is my second one. You won't regret choosing this.

Not a very good stand

I wanted a stand that would not leave marks and would be easy to use. I did not get either. The sticky on the bottom left marks on the dashboard and it would not stay in place.

Brand response from GarminProductExpert

Thank you for your review on your Garmin Portable Auto Friction Mount. We are glad to hear you like the style of the GPS stand. We would like to take this opportunity to provide some help.
Regarding the shaking and vibrating, the only times this would be occurring is if the road conditions and ride of the vehicle cause the shaking and vibrating. However, if your friction mount does this with no explanation, please visit www.garmin.com/support to reach out to Garmin Automotive Customer Care for further assistance.
Again, we appreciate your review on your Garmin Portable Auto Friction Mount. {CW}

This mount functioned really well when traveling. It did not slip or fall from the dash even though it is not "glued" down. The mount lets you easily remove it from the dash and place it on the floor of your car so it is not visible to be stolen when you are away from your car.

The windshield on my new Bolt was so slanted that the gps would not get vertical enough for me to see it, and the built in camera was pointed at the sky. This base sits on the top of the dash and does not slide around. I was able to adjust the camera, and to see the gps properly.

I bought Garmin GPS, it comes with the window mount, but it had dropped twice during the trip, so I backed to Best Buy to get this one, it works better than the small mount on the window. However, I hope Garmin can keep develop new designs to fit all type of car's panels.

Good base for the Garmin. Stays in place better than the weighted version. Allows the driver a close visual of the screen. The base bends to conform to the dash. A shortcoming is the base is long so a narrow steep dash in a compact car can make it more difficult to position.

I used to hve the bean bag style . Garmin should join both the bean bag with the sticky surface . so there we would ave a perfect product . because the bean bag slips in the panel

This is okay but wished I'd bought the sandbag style instead.
