 Great dash mount! November 1, 2007

I've used this mount in a minivan and a MINI Cooper and found it to be absolutely stable. It never moved in the minivan, no matter how hard I cornered or braked (and I tried to get it to move). In the MINI, it only moved once, when I went flying around a corner into a parking lot and hit a hole...the mount moved about half an inch.
If you have a little GPS unit like a Garmin i3 (or i2 or i5) you'll find the unit sits low which makes it a little difficult to use the wheel or button. The Nuvi 350 sits at a nice height in this mount. Another plus is the mount looks much nicer than Garmin's 3-legged mounts. This item is made in China.
Perfect GPS dash mount! Solves the dilemma of California's no-windshield-mount-law... September 27, 2007

I bought 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 applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows.")
It is a no brainer to use. Simply place the Nav-Mat on your dash and attach your GPS's windshield suction mount to the flat disk on the Nav-Mat. The Nav-Mat has a non skid surface.
It is very stable and works great. Actually I find it more convenient to attach my GPS to the Nav Mat than the windshield.
I have posted a picture of it in use under customer images.
Very stable, easy to use. October 31, 2007

I received my GPS Dash Mount today. It works great with my Tom Tom XL and positions the GPS better and easier than the windshield mount. I have a sports car with a relatively small dash area, but it fits no problem and sits very stable. It is also much easier to pick up the device to program it and to remove it from the dashboard to tuck it out of sight when parked. Also, it does not get in the way of the windshield sunscreen. I am very happy with it and it arrived much quicker than I expected. I think we will be ordering another one for our second car.
Nav-MAt and Navigon 7100 GPS November 7, 2007

GPS = Navigon 7100, Vehicle = Nissan Murano & Lincoln Continental
I purchased this mount because I have a Nissan Murano with the steep rake to the windshield. If I attach the suction mount to the windshield the only position in which I can reach the GPS is on the very left side of the windshield. which makes for a messy reach for the power cord to the right side of the center gauge/radio console. I also had difficulty mounting in our Conti without obstructing the view but with this mount it brings the GPS forward out of view and easier to reach.
Also the attachment of the suction cup is difficult.
This mount is ideal allowing me to position the GPS on the dash at @ the 1:00 position above the steering wheel allowing a semi concealed power cord and traffic antenna.
I was a little anxious when ordering as the diameter of the suction circle was not printed in the spec sheets and I was not sure my Navigon 7100 suction cup would fit. The suction circle is @ 3 5/8" Diameter which is larger than the Navigon mount.
Also the Navigon Suction mount is unique in its curved profile and its long reach.
I am very pleased with the combination.
Great Product - Versatile for any make/model GPS December 14, 2007

This GPS mount will work great for ANY system. Here's how: It's a free standing holder with a heavy beanbag rim. It has a very smooth, slick, flat center disk. You simply use the suction mount that came with YOUR particular GPS system, by locking it into the center of the disk - then place the bean bag unit anywhere you want. The bottom of the unit is made of a non-slip material that assures it will sit and stay put - anywhere you choose. Adjusting the viewing angle needed is easily accomplished (again) with "your" suction mount arm. I actually place mine on my console and angle it up toward me. It's a little pricey, when you add shipping, but it's made well, and there's no question as to whether it will work with your make or model - if you have a windshield suction mount that is! It's black, and about 6 inches in diameter. Hope this helps. PS - I have a Magellan Maestro 3100
