Garmin Beanbag Dashboard support

I don't know better than this to mount my GPS. Tried everything already: the suction cups on the windshield and dashboard plate, the Garmin anti-slip dashboard support... The bean bag is handy: see the pluses. The previous one lasted tens of thousands of kilometers but was now wearing out because of the continuous placement and hiding. I'm not thinking of using any other mounting hardware on the market.

What I couldn't believe turned out to be true: the Garmin Beanbag Dashboard Mount is incredibly stable and so it really doesn't move while driving!! For years I have attached my sat nav to the side window of my Picasso with a suction cup mount. But when I bought another car, the system had to be mounted on the windshield. And my new Garmin nüvi 3597 didn't stop there. He let go after 2 days. So I looked for a solution to the problem and found it in this Garmin dashboard mount (Friction Mount, as Garmin calls the system). With a lot of skepticism and thinking that I would have to send it back because of instability, I went to use the support, put it on the dashboard and clicked the 3597 on it. My first surprise was that the 3597 just remained stable, without tilting tendencies. Because the 3597 is a relatively heavy navigation device with the center of gravity forward. Then he would shift while driving, fall forward, twist, ......., so I thought.

None of that. I tried it: hard acceleration, sudden braking, up and down a steep slope (I live in South Limburg), and finally a very sharp bend. My car was about to fly out of the corner, but my Garmin on this support just stopped !!! Without sliding, turning or tilting a millimeter. I don't know how they do it, but it works. So I won't send it back, certainly not. And it is also very handy that you can easily take the support from the dashboard and put it away for a while or put it in another car, without stains on the windows and without having to adjust it again the next time you use it. Because that is also so easy: set the correct position once, and then it is a matter of putting down the support and clicking the Garmin 3597 against it with its magnetic closure. This is really a wonderful, unbelievable but above all very practical application. Definitely worth the money. And it still looks beautiful too!

Our trip to Miami last year made it clear to us that there was another way to place the GPS on the dashboard. Done with the clunky suction cup on the window. The Garmin beanbag solves this in a handy way. Unfortunately we couldn't find this in Belgium until we ended up at Coolbleu through tips. We are very satisfied with the purchase and the progress of the order and delivery.
