Great productSeptember 8, 2008 I feel more secure with the dashboard mount than with the window suction mount. I had problems with the window mount letting lose a couple times and decided I rather be safe than sorry and glad I made the purchase.
It stays putSeptember 7, 2008 The Garmin dashboard mount does a very good job of keeping the the navigation device in place on the dashboard. I live in one (MN) of 2 states (MN,CA) that prohibit use of the windshield mounted devices for the navigation devices. Our legislators, in their infinite wisdom, would rather have someone hand-holding, lap-holding, or passenger-seat holding their devices than having it attached on the windshield. These laws seem to make very little sense as the dashboard seems to be one of the safer places to mount the devices as you can continue to see the road as you refer to the device. By the way, these laws are very routinely ignored by the public and by law-enforcement in MN.
I was never really satisfied with the windshield mount that came with my device. I didn't feel I could find a really good location that would allow good viewing (and minimized sun interference). The windshield mount stuck fairly well on the windshield but occasionally would come off. I didn't find it the easiest to separate the navigator from the device either. Additionally, unless you wanted to advertise that you had a device available for theft you had to remove the windshield holder when parking anyway (probably not as big a deal as the devices become cheaper). The dashboard mount addresses all of my complaints with windshield mounted unit. Additionally, it hasn't moved on me since I have begun using it. I am happy with it, I am now legal in my nanny-state (MN) and I think it is the way to go.
Best gadget for Garmin GPSSeptember 7, 2008 This mount makes it easy to place the GPS at the optimum spot for any driver. Stays put on the dashboard even during aggressive driving. Allows the GPS to be quickly put away out of sight from prying eyes. This gadget is a must have if you have a Nüvi GPS.
The Perfect CompanionSeptember 7, 2008 I wasn't sure if I should purchase this product at the time I bought my Nuvi, but I am glad I did. In my area, theft of GPS is too common. This product allows me to quickly move my GPS completely out of sight when I leave the car. And, when it is on the dash, it never slides.
It works!September 7, 2008 I didn't want to stick my Garmin on the windshield & leave that telltale spot, so I bought this. Put it on the dashboard and it absolutely will not move. It allows you to move the Garmin around. Works perfectly!

Sony DAV-IS10 Home Theater System $439.99 - $799.99 from 11 stores. User rating:0.0 out of 5.
The 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box system features five tiny speakers - each about the size of a golf ball. The system, matched with a compact, single disc DVD/CD player/receiver, includes a unique subwoofer that helps the tiny speakers create sounds typically reserved for full size speakers.
While the system features small speakers, it packs all the power of conventional home theater-in-a-box systems with 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2). The system is specially tuned to deliver a natural sound field that takes the focus off the subwoofer while supplementing mid range and lower frequencies.
