Amazon.com Product Description
Garmin and Amazon.com have teamed up to offer this item in Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging, a recyclable, easy-to-open alternative to traditional packaging. Products in Frustration-Free Packaging are exactly the same–we’ve just streamlined the packaging. A Frustration-Free Package comes without wire ties, hard plastic “clamshell” casings, and plastic bindings. It’s designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging. This item ships in its own box, without the need for an additional shipping box. Learn more about Frustration-Free Packaging.
Keep your nüvi in place with this portable friction mount. It’ll keep everything in plain sight when you need it and out of the way when you don’t. The arm attachment connects directly to your GPS device, and once you’ve adjusted it to your liking, locks into place. Avoid the “wing around the windshield” syndrome that accompanies windshield mounts.
Perfect for locales where window-mounting is prohibited or those who simply prefer a quick way to mount/unmount their nüvi/StreetPilot device.

I am very disappointed with my purchase with Electronics Expo. I ordered the Portable Friction Mount for my Garmin Nuvi 260 and they sent the “Auto Dash Mount” which isn’t even close to what I ordered! It’s a piece of plastic that looks like a replacement mount for the one that comes with my GPS. Now I have to deal with the headache of returning it which I probably won’t end up doing because the mount that I originally wanted cost $23.88 +$6.00 SH&H for a total of $29.88. It’ll cost me even more money to send it back. All I just wanted was for Electronics Expo to send me the correct product that I ordered!

Ordered this to go with a Nuvi 360 being shipped by a friend as a gift. The GPS unit was supposed to have arrived a week ago, but Amazon is still giving my friend the bs of “wait a few more days”. The GPS and this bean bag both showed in tracking info that they were shipped from the same location, but the bean bag arrived 2 days after ordering, the GPS still has not arrived (2 weeks since ordering, over 1 week later than scheduled). Returned the bean bag today, and told my friend to simply cancel the order on the GPS, and will not order from Amazon again. If you screw up, FIX IT!

I didn’t get to use this product in my tests of the Garmin Nuvi 350 last week because everything came in the Garmin box that we needed. The pad seems to be sturdy, and appears to be able to stay in place on the dash, but I never felt the need to use it, hence the three stars.
