iSaddle Friction Mount Holder for Garmin - Exclusive Portable NonSkid Beanbag Dashboard Friction Mount for Garmin GPS Nuvi Drivesmart Drive Dezl Zumo Driveassist DriveLuxe StreetPilot RV Navigator

I've tried so many different car mounts for my cell phone and this is the only style that I'm happy with. Most vent mounts fall out as the phones are too heavy for them to stay secure. The bean bag style is perfect. When traveling I prefer using an old school Garmin instead of the autoplay options in my vehicle. I added a bracket to the ball socket and it works perfectly for the Garmin or cell phone. I love that it can be moved between vehicles. My primary vehicle (Toyota Sienna van) doesn't have a flat dash for it to be centered. However, thanks to the extra storage console (purchased on Amazon) I can set the holder on it and it's just the right height for me to view the screen. The holder stay put on it's own without needing to use an adhesive.

We purchased this for the dash of our truck to put our GPS or Garmin and found that this model. The Eye saddle function mount holder for Garmin is probably the best that we have come across. It stays put even if you make sharp turns if you break too hard or takeoff too fast, it stays right where you put it. The design is pretty clever. It’s almost like a three sided beanbag. It fits perfectly on the dash the stickings holds like it’s been drilled in. It was very inexpensive so it was great for the value of the money we spent. It’s very easy to use and there is suction cups if you want to use those, but we prefer the sticky part. I highly recommend these friction mount holders for your Garmin so you don’t drop it or damage it because this mount stays put.

I stopped using my Garmin when I purchased a new car in 2020 that had a built-in navigation system (no Apple Car-Play). Since owners must pay for vehicle map updates (I refused), I dusted off my Garmin, updated the maps, and have enjoyed comparing the two navigation systems. I'd purchased a dash mount soon after buying the Garmin as the suction mount didn't affixed to the windshield, but with temperature changes, it didn't stay affixed to the dash mount, AND the mount often slid with cornering and braking. This item works WONDERFULLY!! I no longer need to fuss with suction adherence, and the design, weight, and bottom surface work wonderfully to prevent it from sliding. Highly recommend!!

The suction windshield mount that came with Garmin GPS would come off the windshield with temperature changes. With an older GPS I had I purchased a claim shell style holder that sat on the dash. It was heavy and was rock solid during hard acceleration and braking. But I did not like how the claim shell bent the power cable and connector. I really like the way this mounts to the Garmin GPS but it's too light Weight to stay in place. During hard acceleration or braking it comes flying off the dashboard. So I used Gorilla removable mounting putty to attach it to the dashboard. Because it's a low tack adhesive it's easily removable but solidlylocks this mount to the dashboard. Now no matter how hard I accelerate or brake there is no movement. Despite how nice the GPS mounts I could only give this a 3 or 4 star rating because it would not stay in place. But combined with the Gorilla putty I would give this 6 stars if that was an option.

Good solid product, works perfect for my RV Backup Camera.

Works really well, stays where it should, would buy again. Using it with my Garmin GPS. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I attached it to my new Garmin and put it on the dashboard of my car. Seem stable so far but it will need to ride there for a few miles to get a real feel for how well it performs. This is similar to a "beanbag" type mount that I have used for many years for an older Garmin. No problems with that old one and this one seems to be an improved design with a larger dash "footprint" so I expect it will serve me well. Won't really know until it has been in place for a few thousand miles.

I've had years of frustration with suction mounted GPS units, vehicle ODBII monitors, phone mounts, etc. The basic issue is that no matter how well you prep the surface, they always eventually fall off, usually while negotiating a curve, scaring the hell out of you. This mount is brilliant. I stays put, uses gravity to an advantage (not disadvantage) and fits everything I use. It will sit up a bit on the dashboard, but not terribly. Its hefty with a nice soft rubbery material on the bottom. And the heat of summer does nothing to either it, or the hold it has on the unit affixed. Frankly I like it because I do NOT leave units in the sun. This allows me to easily slip the whole thing off and under the seat when I leave the car. I put it back when I return, no fiddling. I've found the ball mount to be basically universal for everything I have. There is another more expensive Garmin mount like this, with a flat pad and a lower profile. I have it as well, but this cheaper one is better I think. The pads "wrap" around the shape of your dashboard much better.
