- Awesome!
- I had my doubts about this when I first purchased it but I'm super glad I did...
The Garmin Nuvi 350 comes with a windshield suction cup mount and a flat base that can be optionally stuck to your dashboard. Since I live in California and it's illegal to suction/stick anything to your windshield, I was forced use the sticky base on my dashboard.
Eventually the suction cup stretched out and would no longer stick to the base when it got warm. Fast forward to vacation: I mistakenly left the suction part behind and when I got home, I had nothing and was forced to find a replacement. After scraping the base off of my dashboard (and I mean SCRAPING. The glue is a pain in the neck to get off) and going through a small bottle of goo gone, I decided I was going to look for something that didn't require me to stick anything to my dashboard.
Yay for this mount! I drive a Mazda 6 Sportwagon. It literally doesn't move no matter what kind of turn I make. Granted - I'm no Mario Andretti but for us average folks, this thing does the job. It feels more substantial than it looks with 4 pretty heavy weights , 1 on each side of the connector and it has a non skid surface underneath to keep it from sliding.
It's also useful because when I'm getting out of my car, I just grab it from the dashboard and stuff it underneath my passenger seat and people walking by have no idea it's in there. - 2008-09-18, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great Mount
- This is a great product. The GPS system doesn't move from its position no matter how sharp the turn is. I have tried to put it on an a curved surface and it still holds with some success. It is much better than sticking the included mount and fixing this portable GPS.

- Garmin Friction Mount
- Extremely pleased with this product. You can place it anyway on the dash and it stays put. Have had no problem. Very easy to turn the screen so that the passenger can also look at the map. Definitely a good buy and cheaper than in the store.

- Very secure mount, just a tad too large
- This mount is stead as a rock when on the dashboard. Works and looks great. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's too big in my opinion. Doesn't fit in the glove compartment when I need to hide it, so I have to put it in the trunk. I think they could've made it smaller and it would still be reliable...
