Best Solution for NUVI in my Prius and my Ford: Theft Protection As Well!!
By A. Stagg
My Prius has a rough dashboard and a windshield that slopes very sharply. Thus, the suction cup mounts are not good solutions. Fortunately, the friction mount is a outstanding solution. It works much better than I expected. Very stable, does not slide, and lets me adjust my Nuvi to a potpourri of dissimilar angles. I may place the GPS anyplace on the dash or even on the center console. Also works great when transposed to my wife's Ford.

Only downside to the device is that it has a rather huge footprint, but not prohibitively large. I like the fact that I may effortlessly use this in both of our family vehicles depending on where we need the GPS.

UPDATE: Now that I have employed this mount steadily since May, I have to say this is the best mounting solution I've found for a GPS or any other device for my car. It hasn't slid out of place once!! Given the rise in GPS units being stolen from cars, this mount allows you to without apparent effort stash your GPS Unit and mount out of sight and then put it back into position with ease.

2009 Update: Still using this in my Prius and my wife has one too. It's kept up rather well. It IS a bit bulky to store out of the way when not in use, but still a good solution. I commonly remove my GPS from the mount (a simple process) and then place the mount as far under the seat as it will go. Not perfect, but the best solution I've found to date.

Well designed
By Dylan Ginsburg
This mount works great. The selection of Garmin mounts is mixing up as numerous are two elements and galore are one. If you have a Nuvi with the included windshield mount, then this is the only share you need to buy. The included mount disassembles at the ball and socket joint and attaches to this one. I can't say it will never come off the dash if I do a lot of in truth high speed maneuver, but so far it's held steady for all regular driving.

I like that it's easy to move the mount and gps unit down to the floor when I park. Yeah a thief could still see it if they came right up to my car but at least it's not apparent from halfway all over the parking lot like a windshield mount is. A thief that sees an empty windshield mount is probably going to assume (correctly) that I've just put the unit in the glove compartment.

Finally, the right mounting solution
By Richard Buck
I have become addicted to my Garmin Nuvi 660 and applied it for six months with a successful windshield mount. But now I have purchased a new car. I came across that the windshield suction mount left an ugly black ring on the window of my old car. (I assume I may get this cleaned up when I detail the car for selling.)

So no way was I going to put one of those on my finelooking new car. I tried the Garmin dashboard mount but shied away from the "permanent" disc. I found the "temporary" disc was just not up to the occupation of keeping this device in place -- at least on my vehicle. I found this very frustrating. I read when it comes to the Portable Friction Mount, found a Best Buy store that had it in stock and ran out to buy it.

Though it is not terribly good looking, it does the occupation very well. I tried whipping around a few tight turns in parking a large total and the whole thing stayed put. As another reviewer said, this lets you effortlessly remove the thing and put it on the floor so it's not obvious. That may be more valuable than you would think. I recognise somebody who got rid of his Garmin Nuvi (and took it with him) but left the window mount in place. The car was broken into and the window mount alone was stolen. (Probably that was a finelooking frustrated thief.)

Also, this will be easy to transfer to a rental car. And it will make it easy for my wife to borrow my Nuvi. Hmmm!
