Works a little better than the Dashboard Mount One, but still requires a velcro sticker to keep it in place.

Bought this to use with a Garmin drive smart 65. It worked fairly well. I did have trouble with mount falling off a few times, but that could be that my Garmin was a little heavy for it. It did not slide around on my dash, although most of the time it was in a little cubby behind my info screen.

This is a "heavyweight" you'll want on your side!

For well over a decade, I have been using a GPS dashboard mount of this same style with the hopes of keeping my GPS devices secure on my vehicles' dashboards to, hopefully, extend the life of my GPS devices. The great thing about this Insignia dashboard mount is that its flexibility gives it the best chance to remain in place as one is driving--not all dashboards are flat! I could not believe how heavy, relatively speaking, this Insignia dashboard mount is. When I took it out of the retail box, I quickly learned that the arm which attaches to the back of the GPS can be raised to a degree. The Garmin GPS bracket clip which attaches to the back of my Garmin Drive 52 GPS securely & properly connects to the ball connect which is located at the top of this GPS mount. The underside of this weighted dashboard mount has a somewhat non-skid feature making it less likely to shift, say, if you brake or make an abrupt turn. I am very pleased with the price as well!

We had one dashboard mount. It didn’t stay put. We found this one and it stays where you put it. It very flexible and sits on any surface.

This mount holds my GPS and does not slide around on the dash. It can be picked up for the passenger to change settings or destinations. As another reviewer said, it took a while to get a good position. When attempting to tilt my GPS downward to cut out sun glare, it ran into the sandbags. (Half an inch taller would be a BIG improvement.) Also, for the angle I wanted, I had to use it with the main clip upside down, so it was hard to keep on the base. Finally found a good position and now just move the whole thing instead of trying to unsnap the GPS to make changes.

The holder is filled with some type of sand it is heavy you have to hook your gps us a certain way or it falls off the center piece should be a little taller because the gps is quite big. The holder stays in place most of the time because the dash is not real flat.. I would buy this again so I am not saying it’s a bad piece.

It works well for smaller GPS's, but for something as big as a Garmin DriveSmart 65, you can't get it to tilt completely vertical. Works great on smaller units and it still worked for my 65.
Way better than sticking your GPS to the windshield with a suction cup.

This item is great for staying on the dashboard with a material cover. Since I could not attach anything that had to stick because I have a material cover on my dashboard, this was perfect to hold my Garmin GPS.

Does its job after the first 5 times the gps falls from it while you are using it....that was fun. But once you find that right angle to clip it on then it'll stay on...if not my next step will be super glue.

Too large for the sedan but works fine for the SUV.
If I had the opportunity to see it in the store, I probably would not have purchased it.

Not bad, needed to hold my GPS. This was a good purchase, but it sometimes slides. Not the greatest, but good to prevent my GPS falling off my window.

This is a great alternative to the windshield. It allows both drivers to view the map easily. I like the stability it provides the Garmin and the height of the mount with the Garmin is just perfect and leaves the windshield completely clear with no viewing obstructions.

I purchased this along with a GPS. I didn't really want a mount on my windshield, so the Best Buy customer service rep helped me. This seems to work well and I like that it is very easy to remove from the dashboard. It seems to hold the GPS in place, so I'm happy with this purchase. Also, it wasn't that expensive.

This gps holder is different from my previous one and I had trouble getting the gps positioned on it for my viewing preference. Eventually I got it situated so that my gps sits at the right angle.

The product required additional adhesive to remain mounted and it still fell down after a hot day. The angle which allows the unit to remain secure to the mount is one where a visual of the unit screen is virtually inaccessible to the eye. With these problems early on , I new it would be inevitable that the unit would virtually be unusable so I returned it….
