If you have more than 1 car, you need this productDecember 5, 2008 I can't say enough about this item but it's awesome. I have 2 cars that I move my GPS back and forth from and it's so easy to just take from car to car. You could also just buy 2 but I'm too cheap. In addition this thing makes your car less of a target than sticking one of those suction cups in your window that says "I have a GPS in my car for you to steal."
Just got this todayDecember 4, 2008 Just got this today and it is in manufacturer's condition, new unopened.
The item looks good and its got 1 maybe 2 key feature.
Its got a really good rotation and lock feature that allows you to fix a position for the ball and prong and lock it. So rotate it how you like and switch the lever to lock. The locking mechanism looks strong and secure.
The other feature is the removal of ball and prong so that you can put the device to another holder. I'm not sure what other accessory you can put this in.
This item is pretty heavy. Some reviews says this item may move but all I can see is if you are either a rectless driver or you may have placed the device somewhere it shouldn't to make it move.
The friction base is sturdy. All I am afraid of is it wearing out and become a smooth surface after repeated rubbing against it. (Dirt may also be in the factor) Do not put this on any fabric material cause it will move. The base is made of a thin, plasticky foam that sticks to surface. It may melt if under the sun for too long. Because it is a thin and soft plastic, I am also afraid that it will rip the bottom over useage.
So far, I am satisfied for the $26 price tag. Anymore and it will be not worth it.
Dashtop mount for Garmin Nuvi SeriesDecember 3, 2008 This is great. I previously used the suction cup mount provided with the Garmin unit. This worked ok but would fall off the windshield at the most unopportune time and created a real problem. I ordered the dashboard mount and problem solved. It certainly will not move from where you place it on the dash. The material on the bottom of the unit grips the dash surface like glue. Great product. JHW
It worksDecember 3, 2008 The GPS stays in place where ever you put it because the mount has some weight to it.Being reasonably big is the downside to it.

Does a great job, perfect for quickly switching between vehicles or removing to keep out of sight. Tacky surface on the bottom keeps it in place.
