Summary: Works great over a dash cover............
Comment: I had two problems.......I live in CA and have a dash cover. Can't mount on the window and can't use regular suction type mount over the fabric covering the dash without cutting a hole in the cover. I've tried using a vent mount, but it's always coming loose or moving around. The "Nav-Mat" is totally stable no matter where I put it. Besides putting it on the dash you can also mount it on the center console and it's still visable to the driver. This mount is a must for all California drivers with a GPS.........Period!!

Summary: What a great idea and what a great product!
Comment: Problem #1: Slanted windshield makes install of GPS an issue.
~
Problem #2: Once installed, crack heads see the unit, smash your windows and steal it.
~
Problem #3: You take the unit with you when you leave the car, but have to leave the suction cup attached because it's a hassle to remove. Crack heads see the cup and assume you left the unit in the car, see Problem #2
~
Problem #4 If you use the perm install w/adhesive your car's value drops like a stone off a cliff.
~
SOLUTION is the Nav-Mat. What a great idea! Well made, durable, great looking, you can take it right off the dash and hide it (and your GPS) in the car. No one knows you even have a GPS, which negates all the problems outline above. If you own a GPS you need this. Great execution of a great idea.

Summary: Should be standard type mount for GPS systems
Comment: This has so many advantages over a windshield suction cup. I'm glad here in California they made me look at this type of dashboard mount, I love it and its very stable. Gets my high recommendation.

Summary: Portable and Steady
Comment: Before I started using the Nav-Mat Portable GPS mount, I had problems getting my Magellan GPS unit to mount to my vehicle window. I really wanted it to mount to my dash, but it was only a window mount. It was awkward to mount on the window. And when the window is cold, it just won't stick. I also didn't like that I had to remove the mount suction every time that I parked the car, so that it would not be broken into.

With the Nav-Mat mount, I mount my Magellan window mount onto the center of the Nav-Mount, which is a flat disk, surrounded by a life-raft like sandbag with a rubber bottom that does not slide on the dash. I never have to remount it again! I just sit the Nav-Mat/Magellan mount on the dash when I use it, and take it back off when I am not using it. It is so easy! And it does not slide around!

I highly recommend the Nav-Mat mount for dash mounting just about any automotive GPS unit. Also, this is not a brand specific mount, as are some, such as Garmin's.

Summary: A Must-Have Addition to Any Portable GPS Unit
Comment: I am amazed at how simple and effective this mount is.

Our first Garmin GPS stopped sticking securely on the windshield after moving the unit between cars several times - having the unit crash down and slide all over the place is very distracting while driving.

I purchased the Nav-Mat when we replaced our old GPS (1 drop to many) and have been THRILLD with it.
- Rock solid - no movement at all
- Better visual placement sitting on dash than hanging on windshield
- Simply move entire unit (with GPS attached) under dashboard or seat to hide when parking the car
- Simply move entire unit to another car, toss onto dashboard and go

Look for a price-point of ~$20 + shipping.

PS - The guy who couldn't get his unit to stick needs only to clean the base and the unit pad with windex or rubbing alcohol and it will never come free accidentally.
