Garmin Portable Friction Mount - Frustration Free Packaging
My Prius has a rough dashboard and a windshield that slopes very
sharply. Thus, the suction cup mounts are not good solutions.
Fortunately, the friction mount is a great solution. It works much
better than I expected. Very stable, does not slide, and lets me adjust
my Nuvi to a variety of different angles. I can place the GPS anywhere
on the dash or even on the center console. Also works great when
transferred to my wife's Ford.
Only downside to the device is
that it has a rather large footprint, but not prohibitively large. I
like the fact that I can easily use this in both of our family vehicles
depending on where we need the GPS.
UPDATE: Now that I have used
this mount regularly since May, I have to say this is the best mounting
solution I've found for a GPS or any other device for my car. It hasn't
slid out of place once!! Given the rise in GPS units being stolen from
cars, this mount allows you to easily stash your GPS Unit and mount out
of sight and then put it back into position with ease.

Update: Still using this in my Prius and my wife has one too. It's
held up quite well. It IS a bit bulky to store out of the way when not
in use, but still a good solution. I usually remove my GPS from the
mount (a simple process) and then place the mount as far under the seat
as it will go. Not perfect, but the best solution I've found to date.
