Excellent GPS Accessory
(5 out of 5) by Michael Moonitz on Jun 24, 2008 (Long Island, NY)Bought one of these on spec for my Nuvi650. Works like charm; simple, effective, practical. Every now and then the suction cup releases but you simply re-attach. In the 6 mos I have used this, I did this 3x.
Only downside to some might be the weight; it is bit heavy, but I keep mine always fasted to the mount and 12v charger, in the between-seat compartment, then just mount up the 650, plug in the charger, and it's ready to go. It is a better friction mount than the Garmin one; more stable.

Great Mount For Most GPS units
(5 out of 5) by Thomas Richard Kennedy on Jan 16, 2008 (Spring Hill, FL)This is an excellent way to have a portable mount
for a GPS unit. It holds very securely to even a sloped
dash. Too bad it is on the expensive side. Watch for
different prices from various sellers.

Better than the windshield
(4 out of 5) by Z. Pham on Dec 31, 2008 (California)I've heard California law will soon be changed so that we can mount our GPS devices to the windshield. I'd like to say that I think the Nav-Mat is better than the windshield. For some reason, I feel like my vision is more obstructed when I mount the GPS on the windshield. Nav-Mat is nicer, because not only is my GPS mounted in an easy to view area, I can just pick it up and put the whole thing under my tray when I want my GPS out of sight. No need to mess with the suction mount.
It is a nice solid weight that helps it grab my dashboard. No worry at all that my GPS will slide off.
Just mount the suction in the middle of the Navmat and you're off. Actually, that part wasn't so easy for me. I finally realized I needed to move it off-center for it to grip, because the little raised circle in the middle kept it from suctioning. Don't know why they put that there. It's better to move the TomTom One back anyway because it sits so low that if it is centered, then it hits the bumper when I try to position it vertically.
This is an attractive gadget. Even when California law changes, I will contintue using it. Nice.
