I’d recently purchased a TomTom(TT)720 and decided I wanted a friction/dash mount for it to use on an upcoming vacation. You know, less evidence that we have a GPS unit and reduce the risk of having our rental broken into.
First I purchased a Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad which is a round, doughnut shaped, beanbag dash mat. While fine for other GPS units, it was not compatible with my TT720. The doughnut is just too thick. When you stick the standard short suction cup mount to it, my 720 could do little more than face almost straight up (okay, more like a 30° angle). At the time that I’m writing this, there is a customer photo that shows you what I mean at the link above. I considered keeping it and modifying it to make it work, but my wife convinced me that I should just return it and get a proper mount. I’m glad she did!
This mounting kit is perfect! This kit included both the horseshoe shaped mat/friction mount, and a longer (and better in my opinion) suction cup mount. The horseshoe shape solves the problem of the weighted beanbag portion of the mat getting in the way of your GPS unit and the upgraded suction cup mount is much more adjustable than the little one that came with the unit. The nonslip bottom combined with the weight keeps this thing stuck to the dash even without installing the “safety hook” that comes with it. When I park, I just put the GPS in my pocket and tuck the mount and charger under my seat.
Two things about the safety hook. I guess someone didn’t think this thing was secure enough on the dash, so they decided they needed to add a plastic hook that you can (semi)permanently mount to your dash with double sided tape, just as an added precaution. First, we had a rental, so I wasn’t going to mount this hook to it’s dash. Second, if thieves notice the little ring left on your windshield from a suction cup mount, wouldn’t they notice this hook mounted on your dash? Well, in any case, mine didn’t move at all without the hook. You’d have to really be doing something extreme to get it to move, and if those extreme forces aren’t coming from a traffic crash, then maybe you’re doing some offroading. And if THAT is the case.. I’d bet you’d be looking for a different kind of mount anyway.
In short, I couldn’t be happier.
