    Amazon.com

    Garmin and Amazon.com have teamed up to offer this item in Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging, a recyclable, easy-to-open alternative to traditional packaging. Products in Frustration-Free Packaging are exactly the same--we've just streamlined the packaging. A Frustration-Free Package comes without wire ties, hard plastic "clamshell" casings, and plastic bindings. It's designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging. This item ships in its own box, without the need for an additional shipping box. Learn more about Frustration-Free Packaging.

    Keep your nüvi in place with this portable friction mount. It'll keep everything in plain sight when you need it and out of the way when you don't. The arm attachment connects directly to your GPS device, and once you've adjusted it to your liking, locks into place. Avoid the "wing around the windshield" syndrome that accompanies windshield mounts.

    Perfect for locales where window-mounting is prohibited or those who simply prefer a quick way to mount/unmount their nüvi/StreetPilot device.

    Customers are mixed about the fit of the GPS mount. Some mention that it fits perfectly, it will fit on almost any dash, and it fits in fine with any décor. However, others say that the tip that holds the GPS is a bit too small, the footprint is large, and the friction surface can wear out after many years.

    Great alternative to suction cups, adhesives or clips
    5 Stars
    Great alternative to suction cups, adhesives or clips
    I wanted a cell phone holder for my mini van that didn't involve suction cups (which rarely stay sucked to the glass), vent clips (which block the vent and heat up or freeze your phone), or adhesives (which just wreck your dashboard). The ball joint on this weighted base happens to fit the back of the cradle from my last failed suction cup cell phone holder! (See photo.)The weighted base is just the right size to fit off to the side of my dashboard, so my field of vision is least obstructed. With the way I'm using it, the ball joint tilt is restricted to absolute vertical, but that's a minor issue. After all, I'm using it outside of it's original design. I don't know if there's more swivel with a Garmin. I am lucky that the cradle I attached sits just high enough off my dashboard to plug in the charging cable, but low enough that the top of my cell phone doesn't constantly bump the windshield.The weighted base is non-slip enough to stay in place, even with my cell phone and the holder attached, even when accelerating or braking, with no wobble. Of course, if you push it hard enough with your hand, it will move. (After all, it's not glued to the dashboard.) I like that I can remove it and hide it easily because it's not stuck on. My only concern is whether the non-slip material on the bottom will get dusty and not "stick" so well if I keep moving it.I like that the neck swivels easily (allows for adjustability), but locks in place (for stability of the device).Installation is as easy as clicking the neck onto the weighted base and putting it on your CLEAN dashboard. The hardest part is just figuring out your preferred placement, but the adjustments are easy.
