I've put this friction mount through some pretty tight and abrupt turns, and it stays put with no problems whatsoever. I've not noticed any problems with residue, although I don't tend to leave it on my dashboard for extended periods because I don't like to make it obvious that I have a GPS in the car due to high theft rates. It is very flexible and adapts to mount pretty much anywhere on the dash, even the more steeply curved and angled parts.

My spouse has the prior "bean-bag" style version of this product, and that works well also but I like that this one has a significantly smaller footprint, and is also easier to store as a result.

I'm not sure how the non-skid surface will fare over time with being removed and placed in my center console with miscellaneous stuff, but so far no problems have arisen.

Overall I am really pleased with this product.

          aided my view screen in my Toyota by giving it enough of a shadow that I can see it much better in very bright days. It also leaves no window marks to indicate that you have a machine on board, setting you up for a thief

          Some main roads arent in the database for an area but come on the screen when you drive on that road. Inputs must be very specific, right down to a hyphen. Not as user friendly as my old Tom Tom. Like the big screen.

              Comments about Garmin Portable Friction Mount:

              This device works well in my Toyota 4 Runner but does not fit very well in my Toyota T100 truck. (Sits too close to the windshield) It is much better than the windshield mount that came with the Garmin. I have a Garmin dash pad mount that came with a unit I ordered last year. I have not been able to find this item since although it is made and supplied by Garmin. It is the very best mount that I have ever used with the Garmin and fits any size Garmin. Staples should investigate being able to sell this mount.

              • Q:

                One review said the bottom is sticky, but won't leave residue, and another says that it's sticky, and will attract dirt, i.e. if I take it off the dash and place it under the seat to hide it, it will become "unsticky" if it gathers dirt.

                So which is it? A friction mount, which uses gravity to reduce horizontal movements across the dash, or is it sticky mount which uses adhesives?

                • A:

                  It is a friction mount which uses a tacky substance to provide the traction. It is not a gravity mount, or an adhesive mount. It will gather dust if placed on a dusty surface, you can place it in a plastic bag to keep it clean when not in use if it is a concern.

                  This mount uses friction to hold your GPS in place. You shouldn't have any problems with a sticky residue on your dash if it is removed. To place an order for this item, please contact us by dialing 1-800-333-3330.

                  A:

                  The mount you listed is a Garmin specific mount, it wouldn't be something that would work with another brand of GPS. You may want to purchase one that is specifically made for your product. To find this, I would suggest searching for the brand of GPS you own.

                Does this include the cradle the GPS mounts into which is shown in two pictures being placed on the mount, and the power cord to the cigarette lighter outlet?
