Customer Review: Works exactly as advertised, however.......
Summary: 5 Stars
There's no question that this product works exactly as advertised. The price is reasonable (though, I was quite surprised at the amount of S&H charges). I have a Magellan Maestro 5310 that I use in my SUV and was looking for something that I wouldn't have to continually attach and remove from my windshield. The non-skid material works great. It's simple to place on the dashboard and just as easy to store away when not needed. When not in use, I simply sit the mount on the floor behind the front passenger seat. And no suction cup marks left on the windshield!
The only problem I had - and this is more personal preference than a problem with the product - is that when the Magellan GPS (w/swivel mount/suction cup) is attached to the bean-bag dashboard mount, the GPS sits up very, very, high. It more than clears the upper edge of the bean-bag portion of the dashboard mount (and, since the power cord plugs into the side of the GPS, too little clearance was never a concern). However, with the way the Magellan swivel mount adjusts, it's not possible to angle the arm down and then angle the GPS back up so that it's both viewable and flush with the beanbag at the same time. Again, that's no complaint with this product - just the combination of this product with the Magellan swivel mount is not practical. (You get the feeling that every car you pass - or that passes you - can see your GPS just as well as you can.) Not wanting to spend more money on a suitable swivel mount, I decided to try an alternative.
With an SUV that has so many ledges and angles on the dashboard, I decided to use velcro strips instead - color-matched to the dark gray dashboard, of course. I simply (cut them to form and) attach one velcro strip to the underside of the GPS and another to the backside of the unit. Then attach the opposite velcro strips to the corresponding desired portions of the dashboard. Ouila!! A semi-permanent attachment, at the same level as all the other dashboard gauges, and not within eyeshot of any other vehicles. Easy to remove, easy to replace, and surprisingly simple. It works.

Description of Gilsson UBM Portable Car Non-Skid Friction Beanbag Dashboard Mount for Garmin, TomTom, Magellan and more
Gilsson Universal Portable Friction Beanbag Mount Base, works with existing suction cup mounts for iPod iPhone Smartphone GPS PDA XM devices - Very Stable and Non-Slippery. CA and MN laws prohibit the use of windshield mount.This Gilsson portable beanbag mount is a great base mount for your GPS, MP3 Player, smart phone, or most any portable electronic device. Weighing about two pounds, it's just heavy enough to make sure your electronic device stays put, even with sudden or abrupt maneuvering. It's an ideal choice for drivers in states where the use of windshield suction cup mounts is illegal, and for those who prefer a mount that can quickly be moved out of the way. It won't leave any ugly adhesive residues on your dashboard, and allows you to hide the GPS from thieves when exiting your vehicle.
Note: this beanbag mount requires the use of a fixed marine, dashboard or suction cup pedestal, which is secured to the the detachable plate on the beanbag mount base.
Works like a charm with Garmin, Magellan, Mio, TomTom, Mio, Lowrance, Motorola, Apple iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, Cell Phone, MP3 or other portable electronics devices.
