After discovering this product, one wonders why we ever stuck those adhesive mounts to our windshields to announce to passing thieves, ‘Stop here! Easy hit!’.

I was costing my organization $10 per day to rent a GPS from National Car Rental until it dawned on me that the same, fabulously functional friction mount that the rental companies used might be available commercially. Voilà, I now take my own Garmin Nüvi with me on trips, stick the compact Portable Dashboard Mount in my briefcase, and use my own GPS rather than rent one at expensive per-day rates.

A side benefit is that use of my own GPS allows me to accumulate destinations in my database rather than use them once and hand them back in a rented GPS unit.

The Friction Dashboard Mount is preternaturally stable. You have to be doing some serious slalom moves in your car to get it to slide from its intended place on the dash of your car.

I find myself using this mount in my own car at home now rather than going back to the adhesive windshield mount.

This is one of those rare no-fault, simple-design, highly effective products that brings a categorical improvement to one of life’s recurrent experiences at a reasonable cost.
