The NAVGEAR mount won’t adequately support a Verizon Droid. The Droid is a heavy device and with it’s window mount even heavier. The NAVGEAR mount only has three legs and there’s no way the legs can be positioned on the dash without tipping over when the vehicle starts up from a stop or in a turn. If this mount had four legs and were heavier like the similar Garmin mount (better friction than the NAVGEAR and works great with our Garmin Nuvi 660) it would probably be ok. I’m sure it’s a fine mount for lighter GPS units with shorter mounting arms.
I’ve been using this dash mount for my 5″ Garmin for about a month now. It’s been perfect. I can place it anywhere on the dash, even the edge of the dash, and it stays put! I’ve even tried to make it slide with some sharp turns and hard breaking…but nope, never budged once. It’s easy to stash out of sight when I need to park and leave it in the car for errands. When I first received it in the mail, I was very pleased with its looks (quality of workmanship and size). It’s much smaller and compact compared to other dash mounts I saw at all the big box stores. I’m very glad I bought this!
Wasn’t sure this would be stable enough for the GPS. It is. It does not slide around, tip over or rock.
I purchased this dash mount for my Garmin Nuvi 760. Unfortunately, the sides of the mount are too high, so I am unable to adjust the GPS to a comfortable angle. In addition, while it would appear that the disk on the dash mount is large enough to move the GPS around, it’s not the case. There is a “bump” in the middle, which seriously constrains the amount of flat space useable by the GPS suction cup.
HORRIBLE ITEM. NEVER EVER PURCHASE. IF YOUR DRIVING THE MOUNT WILL SLIP OFF YOUR DASH AND CRASH HORRENDOUSLY ONTO THE FLOOR HEAVILY DAMAGING YOUR DROID. (WHICH OF COURSE THE COMPANY WILL NEVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OR EVER ADMIT THEY MADE A SHODDY PRODUCT.
