  Great product and good replacement for bad suction cup January 5, 2009
Once window suction cup went bad due to hot Georgia summer days, I got this to try out. Works great and does not slide. I use it in a 2001 land rover and it fits great on the dash. Great quality product.
I like it. A very good way to mount the Nuvi January 3, 2009
This is a very nice little accessory for the Nuvi GPS series, although perhaps a touch pricey. Basically, this mount is a weighted stand that can sit on any horizontal surface such as an armrest console and provide a secure mount for the Nuvi. It is very easy to quick-release the Nuvi from the stand and slip it into one's pocket to prevent creeps from breaking into your vehicle and stealing the GPS.
This stand makes using the GPS simpler and more elegant for those of us who are not going to mount the GPS permanently in the dash. I am glad that I picked up on this accessory.

Got my daughter this mount to go with a GPS for Christmas. This is a great product. She has a Corolla and it fits great on the dash. No matter how much she stops, goes and turns, this doesn't move. A lot better than the window mount. Easy to be seen by the driver and the passenger can turn it to see too. A lot easier than the window mount if you don't want to leave your GPS in the vehicle or leave it in sight.
Definitely the BEST way to mount a Garmin nuvi! January 2, 2009

I have been the proud owner of a nuvi 660 for several years now. It succeeded my earlier more primitive Garmin GPS. I love everything about my nuvi except its former habit of falling off my windshield. The suction mount it came with would let go at will -- because it didn't like the way I had secured it, because it was hot outside, because it was cold outside, maybe because it got tired. And my nice nuvi would crash to the floor of my car. And it got very old cleaning the windshield for suction cup, looking at the little circle the suction cup left when the GPS wasn't mounted, and worrying some thief would spot the telltale ring and break into the car.
Well, all that is over now, because this friction mount is the best thing since sliced bread. It works ANYWHERE -- in my Town Car, in my Subaru, in my husband's truck, and any other place with a flat dashboard, which is virtually every car made. It does not move at all. It perfectly positions the GPS for viewing and easy reaching of its touch screen. The design is simple and straightforward. The ball mount that comes with the flat part of the dashboard mount simply slides into place, and a small lever to the right of the slide locks it. (Removal of the ball mount for the GPS is equally easy: unlock and release) Then add your GPS and you are good to go.
I rarely write reviews but this product is simply wonderful and anyone with a nuvi should get it. In fact this should be Garmin's standard mount, not its irksome windshield suction cup.
I LOVE THIS MOUNT!! December 30, 2008
I LOVE the dash mount as it is what it is mobile. I love the fact that I can transfer the unit to one vehicle to another without any fuss or mess. I have a Garmin nuvi 785t that I purchased from Amazon and my nuvi fits perfectly in the unit. It came with a ball and it was easy to assemble. I did not need any instructions. Make sure you plug the cable in first before you place the GPS on the ball. I have gone up and down hills, made sharp turns, thrown on brakes and the mount did not move. For ME, the mount is not that big as it is about seven inches in diameter. If you have about seven inches to spare on your dash or between your console because you can rotate the unit, then this mount is for you. I have used the mount with the GPS attached on the dash, on the console and while I was sitting in the back seat so the mount is versatile.
