5 out of 5 stars Excellent Base   March 17, 2008

This is a great universal friction mount. I used to own a Nuvi 350 with Garmin friction mount. Unfortunately, Garmin friction mount only works with Garmin unit and does not work with my new TomTom One XL-S.

i.Trek mount base is heavy and solid. I especially like the universal design. The bottom has rubber anti-skid pad which sticks to my dash better than Garmin friction mount.

Both Garmin and TomTom factory windshield mounts are pretty useless which becomes weak after few weeks of use. I strongly recommend Arkon suction cup windshield mounts. It works great with i.Trek friction mount base. I have not experienced mount falling off even once during past 5 months of use.

Very fast shipping by vendor. There were no instructions with this product but if you keep the GPS mounting surface clean, make sure your dash is not dirty and keep the silicon base clean (don't sit it on a dirty floor mat)this product works great. I use it with a Magellan 4250 and it is very stable.


5 out of 5 stars California Changes Law   December 26, 2008

For the folks that may be buying a dash mount in California to stay lawful, the law has changed effective January 1, 2009:

"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law a bill allowing drivers to take advantage of technology intended to help with navigation. It takes effect Jan. 1, 2009.

State law now (2008) prohibits anyone from driving with objects or materials placed, displayed, installed, affixed or applied upon windshields. Exceptions are made for such items as rearview mirrors, toll road transponders and small stickers.

The new law, previously SB1567, allows global positioning system devices to be affixed to vehicle windshields in specific locations.

Portable GPS devices will be permitted to be mounted "in the seven-inch square in the lower corner farthest removed from the driver." They also could be installed "in the five-inch square in the lower corner nearest the driver..."

I bought one for a Christmas present for husband. Then my father-in-law saw it, and wanted one. So I bought the second one. Now both won't use their GPS's without the holder!
