5 Stars Excellent GPS mount!
I own three car type GPS’s and the one I use the most is my Tom Tom. Well, as many of you know the Tom Tom does NOT come with a decent mount. The mount with the Tom Tom literally is a piece of junk that doesn’t stay “connected” to your dash or windshield. So, I searched for a replacement mount and thought I would try this one. It is perfect! It has a suction cup type base with a latch that literally locks it to the windshield or your dash mount. I have had mine mounted with GPS attached for weeks and it has not come off yet. It has two separate adjustments for positioning and it extends about 8 inches or so which puts the GPS closer to you for viewing. I cannot say enough about this GPS mount! You won’t be disappointed with your purchase.

5 Stars A must have!
Dear Tom-Tom Owners: You don’t have to use their terrible mount anymore. No more driving down the road and getting startled when the GPS falls off the windshield and almost causing an accident. This Mini Windshield Mount from Arkon does the job and does it well. For $10, it is a steal. Buy this and you’ll be happy you did.

5 Stars Swivel Mount
Pretty sure that TomTom should be packing this mount instead of the garbage one they manufacture. Stays on windshield beautifully and has excellent adjustments.

1 Star Don’t waste your money…
Same crap as the original mount. Works for about 2 weeks, the constantly falls off the windshield. It doesn’t seem like it should be that difficult to come up with a decent mount, and I was optimistic based on the other review but this one has the same problems.

Yuck.

3 Stars Meh
At least in my Silverado I’d need to mount the hook or the unit will slowly slide off the dash. I just really don’t care to put an adhesive hook permanently on my dash. the base is a little too rigid. If it was a bit heavier and more bean bag like, I think it would slide less. It’s ok for what it is, just not great. Quality if fine.

3 Stars Works, but…
Very stable. But on the first hot day, I got in the car to find the plastic disc seperated from the pad. Investigation showed that there are 4 small screws that secure the disc to the mount, which had all pulled out. I reatteched the disc with some liquid nails glue, and now it is holding up nicely.

5 Stars Exactly what I expected
I got exactly what I should have expected. Works well with my standard TomTom920 windshield mount. Delivery was quick. I haven’t used the safety hook since it’s heavy enough to stay put.

I should have expected the only downsides for my use. These are that it’s too big to put in my center console with the GPS attached and it’s too heavy to travel with and use with for use with a rental car.

5 Stars GPS dash Mount
I’m using this in a 2008 4Runner and it works absolutely great. Stays put, easy to take off the dashboard but won’t move on it’s own. Allows the Garmin 550 Motorcycle GPS to be positioned exactly where I can see it. So when I have to travel by 4 wheels, I use the GPS off the bike. I’d definitely recommend it!

5 Stars UNI WGHTD DSH MNT W/SAFTY
UNI WGHTD DSH MNT W/SAFTY is the must for portable navigation system in car installation. Easy to install, secure your portable GPS on the dash board without damaging the surface, easily removed to avoid potential car brake in. Good quality materials and workmanship.
