GPS Dashboard Mount That Really Works

I've been through many dashboard mounts that don't work. I don't want a windshield mount for various reasons. I had one of those big bean bag-like bindings that have to stay in place thanks to a combination of weight and slip resistance. It was a joke, I even tried not to put anti-slip pads on the dashboard. Bad luck. Then I tried 2 different suction cup mounts. The suction cups need to be replaced regularly or they will fall off. The ones with disc mounts are random as the adhesive breaks down very often at high temperatures and doesn't bond well with all dash materials. strike again! Then I tried the mount you put in the CD drive. There were so many problems with it that it wasn't even worth discussing. As a last resort, I tried this attachment system. I wasn't expecting much though. I was positively surprised. It actually stays where you put it. He won't give in. It stays in place even when cornering at high speed or hard braking. I would also like to point out that the ball joints on most devices are too small and will hold your GPS too loosely. This one seems spot on. There's no tilt or sag when you try to adjust it. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Easy to carry from car to car
Cons
  • Easily repairable
