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.

Set up was easy but the first hard turn I made sent the unit & holder onto the floor. It did make the unit easier to read while driving & no give-away suction cups marks on the windshield. Just don't turn suddenly.

          Comments about Garmin Portable Friction Mount:

          This GPS mount is used on the dashboard of my 2003 Buick, but slides off during hard corners. It is not nearly as good as the "bean bag" mount on my other GPS.

            Low profile on the dash, right or left of the wheel, provides easy reach, minimum distraction and it stays put!

              Nice improvement from the "Bean-Bag" Style. It is much lighter & compact compared to the older style & is easier to connect / disconnect.

                I drive cars to various locations around a tri-state area as a part time job. Now instead of getting "google" directions that I have to read, I just set up my Garmin GPS plug in the address and away we go!This Friction Mount makes it easy to move from car to car.
