Summary: 5 Stars
I just got Garmin nuvi 1690 and I love that model.So I was looking into this friction mount,which is,as of now,really an extra accessary for me. But starting next year in 2010,it is going to be mandatory accessary for me as like in Illinois( as many other states going to mandate this accessary),since the "windsheild mount" is going to be outlawed.
Lots of reviewers on "Amazon" are complaining about "sticky" residue left behind on dashboards and countertops or any surface.Inside the package in which it came,there is a clear cut instruction (in about 11 languages)as to how to remove this residue.Those exact words are:"Clean mount with water.Use dashboard cleaner to remove any residue left by mount."GARMIN" can't be much more specific than this.
If all of us read the instuctions the product comes with it ,the life could be much simpler and less complicated.
As far as the product itself, I think it has its own uses.and that's the main purpose of it.Quality:excellent! Durabilty:Not known.(I just got it, I will probably update my review in next 6 months or so.Since it is a bitter cold in December, there is less driving where I live).Compact:Yes and it is extremely portable(good for frequent flyers and a "rent-a-car" drivers.)One tip:Slide the GPS unit ultra low to the mount(low gravity point).That way it is less likely to "fly" over at those sharp corners of driving. Last but not least on tip: I believe excessive heat inside the vehicle(One reviewer in Arizona was mentioning about the mount not sticking too well to the dashboard) does not work well with silicone base.Extreme heat kills and break down all the chemicals in silicone base, thus losing all its stickiness.For the people who lives in hot zone like in Arizona or Texas,for them I think the choice is to use either "bean bag" model or adhere with velcro(sticky at bottom)pads.
All in all, this is good product well designed for "nuvi"type smaller GPSs.
