Customer Review: A Startlingly SUPERB Universal Mount
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely THE mount to purchase for your GPS unit! (And if bought at the same time as your GPS, Amazon offers unbeatable deals on it.)
Mine is used with the Navigon 2100MAX widescreen GPS - in a 1996 Buick LeSabre and a 2000 Dodge Ram Pickup, both of which have 'challenging' compound-curved dash tops. It has been put through its paces over the past few months - everything I can throw at it - and it absolutely DOES NOT MOVE from where you plant it. Its 'staying power' is far superior to any suction-cup mounts I have ever used, and is also better than some 'hard-attached' mounts I have experienced. About the only thing that might dislodge it, I've concluded, would be if you overturned the vehicle - in which case, GPS damage is the least of your worries.
I rate this as THE 'Must Have' Accessory for your GPS investment - great 'insurance' against damage to your GPS unit. Also, unlike ANY other mounting method, it allows for an infinite range of 'fine tuning' to get the position of your GPS display 'just right' for you. It works so well for the GPS mounting challenge, that I plan to get a second one - to take care of the equally perplexing Cellphone mounting challenge.
Customer Review: Nav-MAt and Navigon 7100 GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Perfect hideaway mount for GPS Navigator Unit
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad gave us a low-cost and very effective way of meeting our needs. My wife and I each like to have our Tom Tom ONE unit in different locations when we're driving, but we both prefer not to have it right under the windshield. That is because of the backlighting from the sky in the daytime, and light from the unit which interferes with forward visibility at night. The Tom Tom unit vacuum mount stuck firmly to the Bracketron, and enabled us to set the Bracketron, as each of us likes it, on the center console. It was very stable, even during hard turns and stops, and the GPS unit works well so long as it's far enough forward that the metal roof of the car doesn't block the GPS signals. It's convenient, when setting up or modifying a route, to temporarily move the mounted GPS unit to a more convenient spot, such as the passenger's lap, while entering information into the unit. When it's not in use, we store the GPS unit, still mounted on the Bracketron, out of sight in a console storage compartment. We are completely satisfied with this mount and recommend it to anyone as a really flexible and cost-effective mounting solution.Customer Review: Problem Solver
Summary: 5 Stars
I was totally fed up of my Tom Tom dropping off my windshield while I was driving, despite ensuring the glass was clean, grease free etc. I saw this product featured in a magazine & then found it on Amazon & decided to give it a go, & I'm really glad I did! It is so simple to use, has completely solved the problem of my Tom Tom disappearing onto the floor while driving & I absolutely love it! It is a very simple idea, but it works! It is a heavy round solid "beanbag" type product with a recessed centre & a non slip base. You simply attach your normal windshield mount onto the back of your Tom Tom, but instead of attaching it to the windshield, you attach it to the disc in the centre of the mat - it even fits on when the power cable is attached. Then simply place the mat with your device attached onto your dashboard & away you go - mine hasn't moved an inch from where I placed it, even travelling around corners at speed or during sharp braking. What's more, I find the visability of the screen is much better, it's easy to unmount and leaves no tell tale sat nav "circles" on the windshield. I can't praise this product enough - it's certainly solved the problems I was having.Customer Review: Anti-slide Dash Pad Donut Base Holder for GPS, Radar Det, MP3 Player, Cellphone Holder
Summary: 5 Stars
I call it the Anti-slide Dash Pad Donut Shaped Base Support Holder for a GPS, Radar Detector, MP3 Player, Cellphone or anything that has a suction type base support bracket. Probably even get it to work with a CB radio if you can get a suction cup type bracket for a CB.
Works great for my Tomtom GPS.
It is like a 8 inch diameter tire shaped bean bag Donut with a pretty much non-skid leathery-rubber like base and 3-1/2 inch plastic base plate in the top center of the donut, that your GPS suction bases attach too. Then just set it on your dash and it stays where you put it. It works great on our vinyl dash in our older car and excellent on our Scion xD dash(but it's a pretty flat dash anyway) but it does not move at all on turns or fast stops on the vinyl as long as you don't set it right on the down slope of the dash.
Really like it, good product, value and good price and really handy. Especially if you don't want to suction cup your GPS to your windshield. Plus it's real easy and convenient to just set it and your GPS (or whatever) on the floor up under the dash when you leave the vehicle or put it in the trunk out of sight.
