After purchasing our new Garmin GPS, I began looking at holders. The suction cup idea did not appeal to me, as I was worried about it coming loose and dropping my GPS, or having someone see it, and break into my car. While browsing Amazon.com, I came across the Garmin Friction Mount, and saw that it had a great number of positive reviews. I decided to order it from Dell, and when it arrived, I was very pleased.

The Garmin Friction Mount is heavy, and it feels like little sandbags with rough bottoms.

What it is

The Garmin Friction Mount consists of four little cloth sandbags attached to a plastic mount. The bottom of the sandbags is a sticky-feeling plastic, a kind of plastic that tends to stay in one place when you put it there.
