Terrible--even for the inexpensive price

from Frederick, MD

I bought this GPS mount after my current one finally lost suction after 3 years of frequent use. I travel often for work and always bring my own GPS. I needed a new mount in a hurry because I was going out of town the next day, I went to Best Buy hoping to purchase a different one but it was not in stock in the store. This mount certainly did not appear the most sturdy when I removed it from the box. The first couple uses everything went well. About 1 month in, the suction stopped working. Literally, I am sitting in the rental car parking trying everything I can possibly think of to make the suction start working again. Usually after about 30 or so try's...it would finally stick. Once it finally stuck, I had to be extremely careful inserting my GPS and using the touch screen, a very small amount of motion or pressure would cause the suction to come loose again. Then comes the next issue, the universal holder requires you to push a button to open, slide your GPS in and then press down to lock. Well...this worked great until it stopped locking after about 7-10 uses. Add another 10 minutes of trying to get this to work and I finally gave up, tilted the gps back so it wouldn't fall out and prayed. After a 2 hour drive and my GPS flying out of the holder on multiple turns, I eventually ripped the mount from the window and threw it in the back seat, utilizing my GPS for the rest of my trip from my lap. If you enjoy wasting your time and being extremely frustrated, this is the GPS mount for you! Otherwise, don't waste your money.

What's great about it: Nothing

What's not so great: Suction cup mount, Grip-it Universal Holder

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
