| WINDSHIELD PEDESTAL NOT INCLUDED. MOUNT BASE ONLY.
Ideal for California and Minnesota drivers where windshield mounting solution is illegal by state law.
Attach your windshield GPS device to this heavy duty friction mount base and transform into a console mount. It sits securely on your dash, console, or any other surface. It can be removed easily for use in another vehicle. This mount base works Garmin, TomTom, Mio, Magellan, and most of GPS devices utilizing windshield mount. |

This is a great universal friction mount. I used to own a Nuvi 350 with Garmin friction mount. Unfortunately, Garmin friction mount only works with Garmin unit and does not work with my new TomTom One XL-S.
i.Trek mount base is heavy and solid. I especially like the universal design. The bottom has rubber anti-skid pad which sticks to my dash better than Garmin friction mount.
Both Garmin and TomTom factory windshield mounts are pretty useless which becomes weak after few weeks of use. I strongly recommend Arkon suction cup windshield mounts. It works great with i.Trek friction mount base. I have not experienced mount falling off even once during past 5 months of use. |
Great friction mount

| Very fast shipping by vendor. There were no instructions with this product but if you keep the GPS mounting surface clean, make sure your dash is not dirty and keep the silicon base clean (don't sit it on a dirty floor mat)this product works great. I use it with a Magellan 4250 and it is very stable. |
California Changes Law

For the folks that may be buying a dash mount in California to stay lawful, the law has changed effective January 1, 2009:
"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law a bill allowing drivers to take advantage of technology intended to help with navigation. It takes effect Jan. 1, 2009.
State law now (2008) prohibits anyone from driving with objects or materials placed, displayed, installed, affixed or applied upon windshields. Exceptions are made for such items as rearview mirrors, toll road transponders and small stickers.
The new law, previously SB1567, allows global positioning system devices to be affixed to vehicle windshields in specific locations.
Portable GPS devices will be permitted to be mounted "in the seven-inch square in the lower corner farthest removed from the driver." They also could be installed "in the five-inch square in the lower corner nearest the driver..."

Excellent product and does a great job. Have not had it "slip or slide" at all. Fantastic product and sure beats puting your GPS on the windshield, and leaving a mark on the windshield to tell felons that you have a GPS stashed away in the car.
I highly recommend this product to all. |
Bought Two

| I bought one for a Christmas present for husband. Then my father-in-law saw it, and wanted one. So I bought the second one. Now both won't use their GPS's without the holder! |
Not as practical as I would have liked

| Functions as promised. You have a sandbag with a flat center so you can mount your garmin on the base instead of sticking it to the windshield. I was actually looking for one that formed a kind of cradle for the Garmin. It was a gift so what the heck. If you are seeking a mount that is removable, this would be excellent. |
