Here are two cool mounting options for your StreetPilot i-series unit. The friction mount is light, flexible, and it'll hold your GPS secure on any dash, including funky contoured ones. For those who like the windshield mount but want one that'll stay in place forever and ever, try this windshield mount with permanent adhesive. Yes, permanent - so make sure you have it just where you want it before sticking it down for good.This product is an automotive friction mounting kit. The package includes 3-finger friction mount, permanent windshield mount w/adhesive.
Not all cars can easily accommodate a GPS mount, which is where this Garmin friction kit comes in handy. The unit, which works with the Garmin StreetPilot i2 and i3 navigators, offers a pair of cool mounting options. The dash mount boasts a trio of friction fingers that hold securely to any dashboard, including funky contoured surfaces. The lightweight, flexible mount is ideal for people who want convenient, easy access to their GPS navigators but don't want them sailing across the dash during every turn. Plus, the dash mount isn't fixed, so you can move it from car to car when necessary. The windshield mount, conversely, features a tough adhesive backing that stays in place for good, unlike many suction mounts. So rather than slipping down the windshield when the conditions get moist, it sits firmly in its spot and keeps your navigator within hand's reach. Best of all, you don't have to chose a mounting option until you receive the kit.

Great product.:
I bought this product because I have a car with a huge dashboard (a Jeep Grand Cherokee) and it was difficult to reach the unit when it was mounted on the windshield. This keeps my GPS in place on the dash even when I'm driving through the mountain roads that are a fact of life at Lake Tahoe. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone.
Definately Worth Getting:
I have the Garmin Street Pilot and have the choice of attaching it to the windscreen or to the dashboard. Both options are ok but I was very concerned for the unit when it kept falling from the windscreen. I checked out Garmin's website and according to them this thing sticks like glue to the dashboard due to the weighted ends. After purchasing this and trying it out, let me tell you, it works. I have taken bends, turns, bumps and every other form of disruption in the car to see if the Garmin would fly... more info
It Works:
This thing really does stay put on my dashboard. Beats trying to affix my StreetPilot on the windshield (it would never stay put).
Better than the suction cup:
The suction cup which attached to the window worked fine for about a year, then it failed repeatedly causing the GPS unit to thud onto the dashboard while driving. This unit solves the problem, and works reasonably well. I deduct one star because I find that over sharp speed bumps the unit slides down the dashboard (though I'm driving a large SUV, not a smooth as silk luxury car). A velcro attachment to the dashboard would likely fix this. Overall a good buy.
