Our take on the Garmin Portable Friction Mount

by Dominic Devito
Garmin Authorized Online Dealer

Garmin's portable friction mount allows you to move your portable navigator quickly from car to car without having to install and uninstall a windshield mount. It features weighted nylon compartments and a no-skid bottom surface which conforms to your dash. Simply place the mount on your dash, attach your StreetPilot or nüvi to the swivel-mount arm, and you're ready to go. Warranty: 30 days.

Works as supposed to..

Written By Brian, NW Ohio on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I bought this to use with my Garmin 2555LMT that I just bought on here and recently used this mount on a trip and I have no complaints. It has a kind of rubbery bottom surface that sticks to the dash with out actually having any adhesive, so it's easy to move and take off the dash when not in use. If you're on an especially bumpy road after a while you may need to adjust the mount as it may vibrate slightly from where you placed it, but no big deal. On regular, decent roads it should stay put just fine.

Best mount Garmin has put out

Written By john D., Orange County, CA on Thursday, August 25, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Really pleased with the Garmin friction mount for my GPS. . I had tried various ones with older Garmin GPS and they either came off or had to be stuck together to the dashboard with Crazy Glue. This new one is sturdy and not once has it come lose or feel wobbly. And it's easy to remove.

Works great. Stays on curved dash areas and fits into odd shaped spaces. Stays where I put it. Easy to move when needed. Can orient GPS in any direction.

Great !

Written By Sue, Decatur, AL on Sunday, April 24, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Great holder - so much easier to use than the windshield mount which places the
GPS out of easy reach. Also when parking, the mount and GPS can quickly be
placed out of the sun and returned just as quickly. Have owned another friction
mount, but this one conforms much better to dips on the surface and holds on great.

If you like EASY ...

Written By Al, Alexandria, VA on Sunday, September 19, 2010
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
... you'll love this. No squiggling to attache an unwieldy suction cup to the deeply slanted windshield on a rough surfaced dash. More importantly, you can remove it and restore it in a wink -- so you don't leave tempting evidence that there is a valuable GPS inside, just waiting for someone to break into you car and steal it with who knows what else. Innovative and smart.

Someone was Thinking !

Written By ken, Pascoag RI on Saturday, May 16, 2009
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I gave this a good test today , I traveled about 100 miles on mostly country roads with hills and curves and it stayed in one place . What a great idea.
I like it better then the suction device because it is simple to place and to put out of site at the destination . Thanks for the help Brooke,

Very useful.

Written By Howard, Framingham, MA on Monday, October 27, 2008
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This is a great accessory to the Garmin Nuvi 550. It allow you to move the GPS between cars and there are no marks on the windshield or dashboard to show anyone that there is a portable GPS in the car. Also it allows one to use their GPS when neccessary and not have it permanently attached to the car.

Garmin Portable Friction Mount

Written By George, Apex, NC on Saturday, June 28, 2008
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I use my Garmin between 2 cars and also use a windshield sunscreen when parking. The suction mount is cumbersome to take on and off so this mount solves both problems. Works perfectly and won't damage the dash. A well thought out product.

I love the friction mount for my Garmin. It places the GPS at the exact spot I wanted it and it makes it easier to hide the wires. So far, I've liked every Garmin product I've bought.
