 A great non-skid beanbag friction dashboard mount! August 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my second attempt at getting a non-skid beanbag friction dashboard mount (or NoSkiBeFriDashMo as we call them in the GPS scene) that plays nice with my TomTom 920's stubby little suction-cup mount. The Bracketron UFM-100BL Nav-Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad does NOT work with the TomTom 920 (or any of the 700s or 900s, I assume) because the little arm on the TomTom's suction cup is so short, the GPS can't get over the big fat beanbag ring around the Bracketron mat. This means the GPS winds up angled almost straight-up, and you can't see the screen. Bogus!
But the Gilsson NoSkiBeFriDashMo, which I'm reviewing here, is excellent. The mounting surface (where you attach the suction cup) lies more or less flat with the rest of the pad, so I was actually able to see my TomTom's screen.
In order to test the Gilsson's NoSkiBeFriDashMo, I did some donuts in old man Cruthers's front yard, and I wasn't able to get it to budge. Glisson really puts the "Non-Skid Friction Beanbag" in Non-Skid Friction Beanbag Dashboard Mount!
It is a little big - about 7" by 7", so if you're driving an embarrassing car like a Miata you're going to be even more embarrassed when you can't put the pad in your microscopic glovebox. I suggest hiding it under the seat.
Finally, the bottom of the Gilsson, where the friction lives, feels really weird. I highly recommend touching it.
Best GPS Mount! June 5, 2008

I had the greatest hopes for this product and I wasn't disappointed! It really defies the laws of physics and I'm still amazed that it works. I use it mainly for my Magellan GPS and now I can't imagine being without it. No more struggling to mount the GPS on my windshield and having it drop off 5 minutes into the trip. And I don't have to fight getting it off the windshield when I leave my car. I just toss the whole thing into my trunk after a trip and I'm done. Great little device. I recommend it highly to anyone with a GPS.
 Good product June 1, 2008

Good product, god price, fast delivery. I just wish it was not so bulky. It would be easier to pack in the glove compartment.
Excellent Beanbag Mount for GPS May 4, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have been using the Gilsson friction beanbag dashboard mount for one week, and am very pleased with the result.
The non-skid material on the bottom side of the beanbag provides excellent friction on dashboard surface. The beanbag, as well as my Garmin 660, does not slide even in hard acceleration and quick cornering situations. Although the instruction recommends placing the beanbag with one of the corners pointing front (thus making it diamond shape) for maximum stability, I found a regular square placement orientation (with one edge facing front) still provides sufficient stability.
Measured at 7" x 7", it is about 55% in size compared with Garmin model, which is 11" x 8". In addition, its square shape makes it look clean and nice on the dashboard. Originally, I was considering another model by Gilsson, the UBM-2 which measures 8" x 8, for the wide-screen Garmin 660 GPS. After one week's of testing, I concluded that it is not necessary.
Another thing I should mention is that the color in the pictures on Amazon looks burgundy, but the units I received are in black, which matches perfectly with the black interior of my car. A nice bonus to me.
For the price and performance, I think this is the best beanbag mount currently available on the market.

Portable Car Non-Skid Friction Beanbag Auto Dash Dashboard Mount for Apple iPod Nano iPhone MP3, Garmin Nuvi 350 200 200W 250 260 650 660 GPS, TomTom One, Zune Player, Navigon 7100, Blackberry, Motorola Razr, MP3 Player or Garmin color eTrex Nuvi 750 76...
This mount holds my Tom Tom securely to the dash of any vehicle I put it in. Sometimes the mounting cup on my Tom Tom turned loose from the windshield, letting the unit fall. It has not turned loose from this mount. The beanbag is a bit large, but I guess that is one of the reasons that it works as well as it does. This is not really a major concern. GPS units are not that cheap!
