Digital camera reviews of Gilsson UBM Portable Car Non-Skid Friction Beanbag Dashboard Mount for Garmin, TomTom, Magellan and more
Digital camera Review: Better than Garmin Portable Friction Mount
Summary: 5 Stars
I just ordered another of these Glisson mounts to replace one that lost its tackyness after about 3 years. I do consider 3 years to be a reasonable life span for this product. This mount has a good solid weight and keeps your GPS anchored to where you put it. The suction of my Garmin GPS came undone a couple of times when I first got the mount. When I took some time and wet the suction cup and pressed it down firmly it stayed put for three years until I finaly pealed it off.
I originally got the Garmin Portable GPS Mount to replace my old Glisson mount but I'm now returning it. The Garming mount has the advantage of not using the suction cup. However the height of the Garmin mount is not adjustable and it is too high. Also the mount doesn't stay put as well as the Glisson mount.
I've bought Glisson antennas and cases in the past and have always been satisfied. A GPS antenna once stopped working and the company quickly replaced it no questions asked.
Digital camera Review: Couldn't be more pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
Smaller and better looking that it appears in photos. Sticks great to my dash, really stays put. Its design allows a unit like my TomTomXXL540tm to adjust properly, where it wouldn't on a pad with higher sides since the TT is almost touching the floor of the mat when adjusted properly.
I'll bet a lot of TomTom users end up with this product after finding that others won't work for them.
Digital camera Review: Disapointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I couldn't get this to stay on the dashboard. It's not heavy enough to stay put. I'm thinking of putting velcro on the bottom of it. Maybe this will help.Digital camera Review: Does the Job
Summary: 5 Stars
I selected this over the round Nav-Mat unit due to some concerns that the TomTom GPS might sit rather deep inside the Nav-Mat, impeding access to the USB/power connector on the bottom of the TomTom. This device positions the mounting plate high enough so that I did not have a problem using the mount that came with my TomTom One 3rd edition. It appears to be a high quality product, and the non-skid material does a nice job holding the unit in place. Be aware of the shipping cost, which is higher than the cost of the unit itself. The total, though, is competitive with other choices, and you might pay nearly twice as much for the Nav-Mat in a local store.Digital camera Review: Does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
A seemingly simple device, however it does the job as advertised.
It holds the Tom-Tom GPS in place on the dash, even during the sharpest turns.
No complaints.
