User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Wonderful Alternative to Windshield Mount/Docking Station
I agree entirely with the other reviewers on how well this works in the car as opposed to the windshield mount. However I found it works great as docking station for my TT 630. The TT 630 comes with just a usb cord and no docking station so I set this on my desk for home charging and updates, then pick the whole thing up and go. Pretty slick!
5 Stars Works perfectly
Works very well. I tried the supplied button from the TomTom for a dash mount and it was worthless. I didn’t like it on the windshield since it blocked my viw at times. This holds th unit just fine and stays put on my Honda Pilot dash without slipping. For anti theft I just pick the whole unit up and hide it in the glove compartment.
5 Stars A must have for your GPS
If you own a GPS for you car, you need this. This heavy base sits on your dashboard with a slip resistant bottom. You use the suction cup base of your GPS to attach it to the smooth plastic of the base. Then you just place it on your dash. Why would you want to fight with constantly sticking and removing it from your windshield? When I park my truck, I just put the GPS, base and all, into my center console compartment. Anyone looking for electronics to steal won’t see my GPS. Better still, they won’t see the suction rings on the windshield which is a sure give away that there is a GPS in the car.
5 Stars If I could give this 5 plus stars I would….do NOT buy the Bracketron, buy this
This is an incredibly stable pad. Awesome in fact. I had tried the Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad and it slid all over. It endangered not only the unit but me and my passengers. It knonked my wife on the knee pretty hard. You had to constantly be on edge that it would fall off.
This item though is like super-glue. It sticks on EVERY turn and I am using it on the same exact dashboard the Bracketron would slide constantly on. This has not slid once on any turn, sharp U-turns included. I can not get it to budge. As an added bonus it is much smaller than the Bracketron hence easier to transfer between cars or stick in a glove department. It is usually priced higher than the Bracketron but it will be the best extra few dollars you have spent.
5 Stars WORKS GREAT!
I couldn’t imagine this thing clinging to the dash when I made quick stops and sharp turns but it does. Works great with my Tom Tom with plenty of clearance for the cable connection at the bottom. Buy with confidence!
