I have brought back the TomTom Universal Dashboard Mount. The problem isn't with the TomTom Dashboard Mount itself. In fact, the TomTom Dashboard Mount has a wide base (less likely to slip off) and is quite heavy (more stable) and might work. The problem was that the phone stand and suction cup stand were not securely attached to the TomTom dashboard mount. The suction mechanism is stable as long as I don't add the weight of my iPhone Plus to its stand, so the first thing I did was buy a TomTom

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Modern

Okay apart from one design issue

The material and workmanship of this mount seems very solid but I have a big design issue. As you can see in the picture, the smooth disc (where the TomTom suction mount attaches) is inserted fairly deep into the base. This causes the TomTom's bottom bezel to hit the rim around the smooth pane, which in turn prevents you from tilting the TomTom's screen down (this is true on my XXL at least, I'm not sure if the same issue occurs on other models). ). This is a problem when you need to tilt theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certification
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Solved a few problems for me

Had real trouble keeping sat nav on windscreen. When this happened, I didn't like constantly looking up to see it and leaning forward to make changes. With that all problems were solved. The device stays on the mount with no problems. And I have no issues with the mount sliding on the dashboard. It's flexible enough to conform to the curves of my dashboard. Used in the Chevy Tahoe, it puts the screen in a much better position so I don't have to take my eyes off the road and can easily reach itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • No automatic

Good tracking and stability on a 2007 Taurus Dash

Got this to replace an older TomTom horseshoe mount as it was quite chipped and scratched in this Iowa landscape. I am very happy with this new mount as it is less angular (doesn't take up as much dashboard space) but holds up just as well if not better than the original mount. It's a bit flexible, so it tends to take on the uneven surface of the 2007 Ford Taurus dashboard, which isn't perfectly flat. The seal to the suction cup plate is good enough to stay in place as of March of this yearโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Reliability

Heavy non-slip attachment for a beanbag!

The mount is quite heavy and has a nice non-slip bottom. It's a little overused so it doesn't quite match my curved dash without a little manual manipulation. I bent the bottom with my hands to better fit the dashboard but didn't slip even before I did. - Sliding material on the bottom to stick to the dashboard. I intentionally didn't clean the dashboard before using the mount for the first time to see how it would handle it. I just brushed some dust off it and it held up surprisingly well. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Good but not great

Works for larger GPS devices - good quality.

No problem so far - even with a large (7 inch) sat nav this mount keeps it in place even during sudden stops or sharp turns. It's fairly unobtrusive and doesn't take up too much space on the dashboard, it's a minor issue, it seems to work fine with my Magellan GPS. To be honest I like the Garmin system a bit more (no bean bag style suction cups) but they seem to be the only major manufacturer using this style so a good universal suction cup mount is the best option if you don't ( or in someโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
