My husband and I absolutely love this Gilsson portable mount !!! We own a Garmin Nuvi 350, Magellan Maestro and a TomTom One and this mount works well with all of them, even with our aggressive driving style in a Lotus Elise sports car ! We have tried both the Garmin Friction Mount as well as the Bracketron Nav-Mat beanbag mounts and found this Gilsson mount to be most stable for several reasons: (1) This Gilsson Mount is heavier than Nav-Mat and Garmin Mounts, (2) Gilsson Mount is square-shape, allowing one to point the corners of the mount toward the windshield and the driver, thereby creating a longer “moment arm”, effectively making the mount to be more stable and less likely to tilt or fall off the dashboard (3) The non-skid material surface area on the Gilsson mount is larger than Garmin and Nav-Mat mounts, thereby making it even more resistant to skidding and sliding. One of our friends has a Toyota Prius with slanted dashboard and have had no problems with this Gilsson mount staying at the same spot. This mount is made of high quality and durable neoprene / wet-suit material, I am sure you will be very happy with it !
This mount is quite large and measures about 7.5″ square. It can accomodate suction cups up to 3.25″ in diameter. I chose this over the round Bracketron Nav-Mat mount because this has a diamond shape that fits (wedges in) perfectly between the 2 humps on my Toyota Highlander’s dash. It also fits very well in my Toyota Prius which has a flat dashboard.
The mount is absolutely stable under all driving conditions. The non-skid material is so good that I think nothing short of a collision will make it slide. I am using it with a Mio C520 which has a 4.3″ screen.
Before buying this, you should make sure your dashboard is big enough to take this 7.5″ square (or diamond shape) mount. If not, you should consider the smaller Bracketron Nav-Mat.
