$39.99 - Garmin Portable Friction Mount
Product DescriptionKeep 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. Place the mount on any stable surface, and adjust the position of your GPS to your liking. The friction mount weighs enough to keep your device put on the dash, even when sudden maneuvers are necessary. It's ideal for states in which the use of windshield suction mounts is illegal. In addition to its convenience, you can quickly place your GPS out of sight, and without leaving any residue on the windshield, both handy for any potential prying eyes. Compatible Garmin Models

Summary : Great Mount!!
This is a great solution to the suction cup that sometimes can leave marks on your window or having to permanently mount the suction disc to your dashboard. Its great to move from car to car or lending it to a family member or friend. It works great. I've never had it fall or slide from its original position. Its totally worth the extra five or ten bucks than the other cheaper stands.

Summary : Stable and secure...
My Garmin 265WT portable GPS unit arrived last month. Included with it was the window-shield suction mount. I tried it and it worked OK. It was a stable mount, but somewhat of a security pain-in-the-neck. Since security is an issue nowadays with portable GPS units, I had to remove the suction mount from the windwhield in order to hide it away each time I exited my car. Then, I had to re-attach it to the windshield again upon re-entering. I subsequently searched the Internet for alternative mounting devices. Nearly every user product review recommended the portable friction mount because of its ease of use and stability. I purchased one, and have been using it ever since. It has great stability due to its lockable "bean-bag" base, and I am able to install/uninstall it in seconds. It definitely is the way to go.

Summary : dashboard mount
I needed something to hold my gps since the windsheild in my car is at such an angle that I couldn't get the suction mount to work properly. This is wonderful stays in place no loose parts. good price

Summary : friction mount
A little bulky, but it doese a good job at not moving around, and it breaks down so that it can be stored for travel.

Summary : Does not work too well and wears out quickly
The mount wasn't working all that well in the beginning. In sharper turns the mount would slide on the dash. After a year or so it totally lost it's friction properties and even medium fast turn makes it fly off the dash. Garbage.
