Great substitute, 2007-11-28
I got this for my Garmin Nuvi 650 since in California you can't put anything on your windshield. I have heard many people say and write that the windshield mount that came with their nuvi 650 to not be that efficient. I at first had the same problem but then realized how that you have to lower the lever on the windshield mounting to the very bottom then push up in order to make sure the suction was gripping the tightest.
However, for this unit that I am using now, it works great. I first put it on my dashboard with my unit on it to make sure that it would slip and slide. Even tested it by making some sharp turns at reasonable high speeds. It didnt budge, i think it is because of the stick type service on the bottom. I then used it with my unit and it has been working just as well as if I had mounted it on the windshield.
Another good feature about this is that you can easily remove it from the dashboard so that no one knows that you have a gps unit in your car. Its a good product.

 Depends on your dash material..., 2007-11-27
Addition: I have a Saab 9-5.

On my dashboard, this thing slid right off on the first tight turn. Useless.
So clearly the effectiveness of this product depends on the material on your dashboard.
Good way to break your GPS if your dash isn't of a "compatible" material for this...

Garmin 'bean bag dash mount', 2007-11-26
Bought it for my daughter to use with the Garmin c550 that I had just bought her. She loves it. We live in an area that has had many thefts of navigation systems from the car. Police have advised not only to remove GPS system when leaving the car, but to remove windshield based mount as well. They even suggest that you wipe off the mark the suction cup leaves on the window as the thieves are aware of that the suction cup mark means that a GPS system is in the car. The portable Friction Mount makes life a lot easier. And Amozon's price was $20.00 less then Best Buy.

 Bean Bag Mount, 2007-11-26
It is very useful for my nuvi 350. It sits on my dashboard of my Taurus 2003. I always use it... I have not used the mounts supplied by Garmin.
Easy, easy, easy, 2007-11-25
This was so easy as there was no installation. It makes it very easy to change between cars and hide on the floor. Another passenger can also change the location easily as you can move the GPS. It does not move at all on the dashboard while driving, it is very stable and secure. After this purchase I would never put in a semi-permanent or permanent mounting device in my car. Very good buy and Amazon has the best price.
