I purchased this with some doubt as it was considerably less than a genuine Garmin mount.
Upon arrival my doubts increased as the wings (front) of this platform are not as wide as the genuine Garmin unit which I also own.
Further, the knock off is two ounces lighter and I wondered if the slight weight difference would amount to a significant stability difference in combination with the slimmer footprint.
Well, after tooling around town and the expressway for several days with this unit on the dash I can say it works quite well.
I do believe the genuine Garmin unit would stay stable under greater inertia changes than this knockoff, but if you slam into a full swerving brake both units will go flying and I have found the knockoff has maintained it’s position just fine under harder driving and turning (flat out swerving) than I or those with me prefer to experience. LOL
So I give this a full five star rating on both functionality and price.

This Friction Mount works great for my Garmin. It is nice to have the ability to put away my GPS without leaving a circle on my windshield for security reasons. I even bought this for my son to use as well.

I was skeptic when I got this product because it has smaller base than the original one from Garmin. However, It works perfectly fine( I’ve been using it for a month). My dashboard is curvy and I am a rough driver. So far it hasn’t budge even on the sharp turn. My suction mount pop-off constantly on the hot day. I haven’t try this on a really hot day. Yet, I’ve been take it on and off to store it when I parked and It works great.
