Customer Review: The NavMat is GREAT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a PT Cruiser. There is not one single flat surface on the dashboard to mount the suction cup or the stick-on mount. I did not want to lure break-ins with the mount on the windshield or a tell-tale windshield ring. I have a Navigon 2100. This mount works great. When I park, I just snap the GPS unit out of the holder tabs, put the charger-plug and cord into the glove box and shove the NavMat (with the suction holder still attached) under the passenger seat. No evidence to lure thieves. I leave it in the car and keep the GPS in my purse. I also have a automobile-plug to A/C-plug adapter, so I can charge my Navigon in the house, so it is always charged up. I got a Navigon for my daughter also, and the first thing I told her was to get on Amazon and order one of these. She loves hers too. I'm ordering 3 more for other members of my family. Amazon prices on this go up and down, but it is well worth it at whatever price.Customer Review: Works great even in a sports car
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. Works just as described. I have a Tomtom One XL and a Mercedes SLK. I have read previous reviews saying that this product doesn't work well with either. I have had no problems. My dash and windshield are very slanted & it makes it hard for the Tomtom to mount on the window without having to put a cloth or something under it to stabilize it. This product just sits on the dash & doesn't move. The person who said it slides off the dash must have been trying to put it near the cup holder at the front of the dash. If you put it nearer the window & not on top of the speaker (where the cupholder is) it just does its job. It makes it easy to stow away & make changes to your route by just picking it up. No more little circles on the window & fighting to get it just right on the windshield. I just bought my daughter a GPS for Christmas & bought her this little gem as well. I give it 5 stars.Customer Review: A Must-Have Addition to Any Portable GPS Unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I am amazed at how simple and effective this mount is.
Our first Garmin GPS stopped sticking securely on the windshield after moving the unit between cars several times - having the unit crash down and slide all over the place is very distracting while driving.
I purchased the Nav-Mat when we replaced our old GPS (1 drop to many) and have been THRILLD with it.
- Rock solid - no movement at all
- Better visual placement sitting on dash than hanging on windshield
- Simply move entire unit (with GPS attached) under dashboard or seat to hide when parking the car
- Simply move entire unit to another car, toss onto dashboard and go
Look for a price-point of ~$20 + shipping.
PS - The guy who couldn't get his unit to stick needs only to clean the base and the unit pad with windex or rubbing alcohol and it will never come free accidentally.
Customer Review: Perfect Alternative
Summary: 5 Stars
First, let me say I paid more $ for this at a retail chain. And when I pulled it out of the package I wanted to hit myself in the head with it: I paid how much for what looked like a beanbag mat?! And then I used it.
The thing works exactly as it states - suction your GPS window mount to it, put it on the dash, and it stays put. I use it with a Magellan 4040. So far, the Nav-Mat has never moved from where I place it.
The reason why I purchased this was fear of leaving the empty GPS-mount in plain view. I didn't want to risk having my window smashed whether or not my GPS was in the glove box waiting to be stolen; and if it gives me some peace of mind, it was worth it, and a lot cheaper than replacing a window.
It also fits in my glove box once I remove the GPS, so it's easily stored away when I leave the car.
Customer Review: Amazing hide-away dash mount - it never moves!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the perfect mount for the Magellan Maestro 4250. I wanted a mount that I could position just about anywhere in my car, and that could be easily stowed, leaving theives no sign of a GPS being in the car. I never leave anything valuable in my vehicle anyway, but I don't want anyone breaking into it just because there's some adhesive on the dash or suction marks on the windshield to indicate that there might be a GPS in the vehicle.
I really didn't expect this thing to stay put during hard curves and such, but it really does! I've been using it for 2 months now, and it has NEVER moved! The only time it moves is when I pick it up and stow it out of sight. I travel a lot, too, so it has already seen many miles and all kinds of road conditions.
It's inexpensive, stable, removes without a trace, and it's a perfect fit for the Magellan 4250.
