"Easy to use and very secure. The sat nav stays in place when you want to use it and you can put the mount out of sight when not in use."

Pros: doesn't leave messy rings on screen
"Before I bought it I was a bit sceptical that it would stay in place and not fly off of the dash the first time I went round a corner,however after trying it in two different cars I needn't have worried,it stays in place and is just as stable as if it was stuck to the screen."

Pros: easy to quickly stow away., no mark on windscreen to worry about.
Cons: a bit pricey
"On first sight, it's hard to believe it will not fly off the dashboard at the first turn or sharp manoeuvre but it is rock solid even under emergency braking. Far more reliable than the normal windscreen attachment provided with the GPS."

Pros: stable high quality, easy to set up, fits easily in glove box when not in use
Cons: charge cable dangles over dash when in use
"Simple to set up, much better and safer than trying to read or reach for a sat nav mounted out of arm's reach in a mid-size or large car."

"Bought a sat nav but didn't want to stick it on the windscreen so bought one of these. Fantastic! Didn't move at all even on sharp bends, roundabouts and even an emergency stop. Take the sat nav with us when we leave the car and hide the accessories, no marks on the windscreen to let would be car thieves know we could have a sat nav hidden under the seat! Great little gadget."

"Not wanting to leave marks on the screen or dash with a sticky pad for holding a Sat Nav I opted for the friction pad. Its perfect, does not move and locks the sat nav holder in place."

It sits neatly on my dashboard and can be put away without leaving circular 'giveaway' marks on the windscreen!
Brilliant product!"

Pros: does the job well
Cons: cost
"Bought this because I didn't want screen mount witness marks nor a permanent disc spoiling the dash. This is the answer, simple to use, stows away in the glove box, rigid when in use. You can position your satnav any way you want. Only complaint is the cost, lot of money for what it is, but that;s called value pricing!!"

"I really can't rate this product highly enough. Innovative design, does exactly what it says on the packet! As others have said, this would be a welcome addition to any satnav purchase instead of the cheap and nasty windscreen variety of holder that screams "please break in, I have a satnav"!
If you have a Garmin Nuvi, you need one of these! 5 stars from me!"
