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.

Summary: California Changes Law
Comment: 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..."

Summary: Sucks!
Comment: This one could not hold on to the GPS at all...
The GPS kept falling, after few times the GPS stopped working and eventually I had to send the GPS for replacement.
Then I bought GPS accessory for holding the GPS, though slightly more expensive than this one, it is worth it.
Instead of wasting money on this one, I advise people to go for original GPS accessory. This one costed me around ~$20 and the one from Garmin costed ~$27 (both with shipping).
Actually I am not able to rate it with zero(0), so I had to give atleast a 1 star to post this comment.

Summary: Great friction mount
Comment: 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.
