Gilsson Portable Beanbag Mount is a great base to mount your Garmin, Magellan, Mio, TomTom, Mio, Lowrance, Motorola, Apple iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, Cell Phone, MP3 or other portable electronics devices.Beanbag weighs almost 2 pounds, just heavy enough to make sure your electronic device stay at the same place despite of sudden or abrupt maneuvering. Gilsson tested it in various sedans and sports cars and found Gilsson’s beanbag mount very stable and works great.This portable mount is also great, because it does not leave any ugly adhesive residues on your dashboard and allows you to hide the GPS from thieves when exiting your vehicle.

   This sits on the top center dash pod of my Patriot. It does not slip. Perfect accessory for my gps. Keeps it in the sight line when needed.

   I was just about to purchase this mount due to the great reviews, but the $13 shipping cost bothered me, especially when I went to put 4 in my cart (christmas gifts), and the shipping was going to be $52, yikes! I ended up searching “Glisson Mount” in the search all departments toolbar, and it pulled up the same model from amazon.com direct, for $13 which was a little higher than the cost of this one, but it qualified for free super saver shipping if you purchased over $25 worth of amazon.com direct items! Worked for me, you’ll save some decent $ if you are going to be buying more than 2 of these mounts (or have other items you plan on buying that qualify for super saver shipping). Happy shopping!

   I have tried several different dash mounts in my car for my TomTom,

   nothing worked. I recieved this yesterday and it works! This product sticks even if you put armoral on your dash and I did, everything slid off. I am so pleased that I just ordered another one for my son.

   I would highly recomend this product to anyone that has something to mount on the dash.

   I purchased this product for my Tomtom go 720 and it works great. The suction cup mount from your GPS simply suctions to the hard surface attached to the bean bag. I can set it on the dash or plop it in the passenger seat and I am ready to go.

   The bean bag is about eight inches by eight inches square and is about one inch to one inch and a quarter tall depending on where the bean bag bunches up. The plastic mounting surface in the center of the bean bag mounts to the bean bag with four steel snaps and mostly sits on the surface with maybe a quarter inch recess at most. As a result, there is absolutely no obstruction to the viewing of the gps as the mount that came with your gps is at least a quarter inch tall.

   I priced shopped this product on another site where I normally buy electronics related gear. The other site had supposed free shipping but in actuality, had included it in the purchase price such that the total cost was about $4 more than what I paid here for both the product and shipping.

   Walmart has a generic donut shaped product which is supposed to be comparable but its price was also more than shipping and purchase price from Amazon. Plus, the Walmart version has a large lip on it which I was concerned would obstruct viewing. The product has no such viewing obstructions. The suction cup easily mounts and unmounts to the hard surface of this product and makes a nice solid mount.

   I recently bought a Garmin Nuvi 260W and after extensive research as to a portable mount such as this one, I found this to be just what I needed. It holds the GPS in place beautiful and I was taking somewhat severe turns and/or uphill and the mount and GPS stayed in place beautifully. I am impressed and pleased I found this (and found it at a great deal as well.) You can not go wrong purchasing this mount.
