Great in theory, poor performance at low temperatures
By Chicago Scientist
If you read the other reviews for this product, numerous of the positive ones were written by California residents, as California does not concede window mounts. These positive reviews led me to buy this product, but unfortunately, I haven't had the same results. This product worked wondrously for the duration of the warmer season. (I am a resident of Maryland.) I normally keep the dash mount underneath the seat of the car and pull it out whenever I need to use my Magellan 3140 GPS. When winter came along, however, the mount from my GPS would not stay attached to the Nav-Mat. The mount works fine on the window all year-round, but many times fell off the Nav-Mat when it was cold outside. When driving in unchartered territory, you in truth don't want your GPS to fall onto the floor of your car. If you live in a region where temperatures drop, consider bringing the Nav-Mat with you so it is warm when you attach the mount, or be prepared to have the GPS unit pop off the Nav-Mat. I'm sure if I lived in California, I would have given the product 5 stars as well, as it is performance when ambient temperatures are not freezing is perfect.

Perfect GPS dash mount! Solves the dilemma of California's no-windshield-mount-law...
By nagappa
I purchased this mount for use with my Mio C520 for my trips to California, where it is illegal to use a mount on your windshield. (California Vehicle Code section 26708(a)(1) provides that "No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or used upon the windshield or side or rear windows.")
