Digital camera reviews of Garmin Portable Friction Mount

Digital camera Review: A Must-Have if you use in your car
Summary: 5 Stars

I have to admit, I was skeptical before buying. But after continual problems with the windshield mount either (a) semi-permanently bonding to the windshield, or (b) in cold weather, never sticking to the windshield, I tried the friction mount. It seems impossible for this to work - it's only using the drag between the mount and dashboard, no sticky stuff at all - but it works like a charm. Even when I hit turns hard, it doesn't even rock. And it's easy as pie to take it off the dash and stow when you're worried about thieves - in contrast to the windshield mount, which just says "please break in." Get it, you won't be disappointed.

Digital camera Review: A OK
Summary: 5 Stars

What more can you say, the friction pad does exactly what it was designed to do however Garmin should include one as a standard accessory with every Nuvi purchase.

Digital camera Review: A REALLY worthwhile purchase...
Summary: 4 Stars

The other reviewers have said it all re the advantages! I was the numbskull who didn't realize the sucker windscreen attachment would quite quickly become useless if left there in DC's broiling summer sun. Which of course happened within 6 weeks. The wretched thing kept coming unstuck and really became a driving hazard on more than one occasion. This friction mount has been terrific, yes, OK, it's a bit large, but easily moved when you don't need it, eg, when you want to hide the fact that you've got a GPS system. It certainly hasn't slid across the dashboard, and shows no signs of doing so. I'm delighted I bought it.

Digital camera Review: A Very Worthwhile Accessory
Summary: 5 Stars

Here in California, we can't legally attach a GPS unit to the windshield of our cars, so we need something stable on which to mount the GPS on the dashboard. This unit is masterful -- it simply does not move once you place it. Yet it's completely versatile -- you can move the GPS into any position easily and detach it from the dashboard mount. I highly recommend this clever dashboard mount.

Digital camera Review: A bean bag with an attitude
Summary: 5 Stars

Very briefly, this little (well it's not that little) 'bean bag' to hold your Garmin car GPS is great. It doesn't shift or slide because it's underside is 'non-slip.' Rather than dinking around with suction cups (which BTW are not legal in all states) which tend to leave marks and can be a nuisance; so much of a nuisance that one may be tempted to leave the attachment in place ... which may entice a miscreant to perhaps think that you were lazy enough to leave your unit in the car.
