I have always attached my GPS to my windshield with either the suction cup or the disk that is stuck to the window. I was tired of the device falling from the window. I was tired of twisting myself around the steering wheel to re-apply the device. It is very easy to attach the GPS to the mount, and everything fits perfectly on my dashboard. No ugly disk on my windshield. No falling GPS. I can move my device out of the window to avoid heat damage from the sun when I've parked my car during warm and hot months. Of course, it is also easy to move from the window to avoid tempting potential thieves. It was all easy to pack and take with me when I flew across country so I could use it while on vacation. I can't speak highly enough about the Auto Friction Mount. Wish I had it earlier!!
Hit the road with this GPS that features a 5" widescreen touch-screen display that provides a clear view and preloaded base map coverage of the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico to help you arrive at your destination.
I have used another manufacturer's GPS (with lots of problems). The Garman is easy to use and features are great. Most important: customer service at Garman is outstanding. I had questions for them and they responded quickly and in detail. Even better, it wasn't just a usual cut-and-paste reply; they dealt directly with the questions I was asking.
