We purchased our Garmin Friction Mount through Amazon.ca. It arrived in two days - well ahead of schedule. We bought the friction mount because we were concerned about theft issues if we used the suction cup which could leave a tell-tale circle on the windshield and also because we hoped it would provide stability for our Nuvi 1450LMT that we heard the suction cup mount wouldn't be able to provide.
It's safe to say that after a tour through Massachusetts we are extremely happy with our mount. We own a 2012 Ford Focus HB and it fits perfectly on our dash. In fact, we are able to mold the mount to match the shape of the dash in a great spot for unobtrusive viewing. The mount held in place regardless of braking or turning. It didn't even budge on sharp corners! When we arrive at our destination, we simply remove the gps and toss the mount in the glove box.
I am surprised that a previous reviewer stated that this mount is big in volume (and so the first thing I took note of when I opened the box was its size and I was pleased with the mount's dimensions). In any case, take note of the mount's specs as posted on Amazon or on the Garmin website to see if it's suited for your vehicle.
For the best review of this product, I suggest you go to amazon.com's Garmin Friction Mount page and check out the review by Timothy B. Riley. It's outstanding and includes a comparison video.
For us, this was money well spent.

Ordered this after having my Garmin fly off of the windshield several times using the suction device that came with my Garmin. This happened to me at a critical junction once and I was relying on the Garmin when it fell onto the car floor and I didn't know where to turn as I had never been to this location before.
The friction mount stays where you put it and has never moved in my car. Just make sure the dash is clean and not dusty which will stick to the base of the new mount and make it less effective. When I remove the friction mount I just fold it up and put it in a plastic bag to keep it clean which only takes seconds to do. Garmin should give these out as part of the purchased kit instead of the suction cup.
I would recommend this base.

I agree with the other reviewers, especially the one on video, that this is a great product. One thing that I hadn't noticed in the reviews was that the device is flexible; so it fits the curves of a dashboard provided they are not too sharp. If it was mentioned, it bears repeating!

Miata Approved
Got this mount to avoid sticking my Garmin to the windshield. It stayed-put on the dash while the Miata was thrown around a lot of very tight corners and it never budged. Read more

Works well
This works well with my Garmin LMT 3590 (5"). Ironically it fits best on my Subaru Forester dash right where it would be with the windshield mount. Read more

Good design!
My dashboard is too deep for a windshield mount. This friction mount is rock solid and lets me access the GPS easily.

This mount does exactly as promised. It also puts the unit in a preferred lower position on my dash board. Read more

Stays put!
It's been in my car for about 4 months now. It's great! Never moves or shifts! Much better than the suction cup do-dad that came with the GPS. Shipped really fast too!!

I saw another review that said it wasn't suitable for his Infiniti model. I can't speak for all makes and models or all users, but for me it works great. Read more
