I have owned several dashboard mounts for the nuvi and I like this one the best. I thought that I would give prospective buyers a “virtual” hands-on demo by recording this video review. I hope that it is helpful.

Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount for nüvi Series and StreetPilot C5XX Series GPS Navigators (C530, C550, and C580)
I already have the “bean bag” mount and was glad to see this new, updated design, so I ordered. It does look more “factory”. Was unpleasantly surprised when it arrived. The main upper portion is a pliable plastic that molds to the contours of your dash. The bottom, though, is a strange feeling silicone, that leaves your fingers feeling like you just handled a silicone spray or lubricant. Right on the packaging, but hidden from view until you remove the mount, is a message about cleaning residue left behind on your dash. Indeed, it even left an imprint mark on my kitchen counter while I was reading the packaging! Who wants to clean up a silicone stain every time you use it. I’ve already sent it back and will stick with the bean bag.
