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.

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.

    Comments about Garmin Portable Friction Mount:

    Have an older (heavier) Garmin GPS--the suction cup would only stay on the windshield 3 or 4 days at most before letting go. Once the falling unit hit the light switch and turned my headlights on while the car was parked. Not good. Now, the unit is firmly on my dash, and has not moved even a fraction of an inch.

      Comments about Garmin Portable Friction Mount:

      This Garmin base replces a Garmin bean bag friction mount my son borrowed and never returned. I like it better than the bean bag mount because it doesn't move at all and the mount folds when detached from the gps for better storage. It was also half the price!

          I bought one for my Wife's car. Looks good, folds down out of the way when not in use. Liked it so much bought one for our Daughter's car.

          • 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?
            Asked on 2/28/2012 by Joe

            2 answers

            • 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.

              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.
