True it doesn’t seem to slip around but it is cumbersome and in a smaller car can end up covering your air vents. I also don’t get how the GPS is supposed to sit on it? Are you supposed to mount the GPS to the suction cup mount and then suction it to the plate? I think this may be the new “pet rock”, something you really don’t need. A better description of how to use and showing a picture with a GPS unit on it would be helpful in deciding whether or not to purchase. Right now it’s hanging out in my back seat!

It’s OK, doesn’t slide around but would be better if it had placement areas/holders that hold specific sized things.

This is a great little gadget. I bought it to use with a Garmin 255W. The bean bag works perfectly with the Garmin suction mount. The bean bag does not have a huge footprint, and I find that it fits perfectly in the side pocket of the driver-side door of my car. It appears to be well made. The fabric feels sturdy, and the plate on the top attached securely.
This bean bag has not so much as moved a millimeter, even on sharp corners. I also like the design of this model better than the Garmin brand, which has a permanently attached bracket sticking out of it. (I would think the bracket would get in the way of stashing it in the glove box or under the seat, or where ever you want to put it away. )
Great product – it does exactly what it is supposed to do, at a reasonable price. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stable mounting device for their GPS unit.
PS: for anyone wondering about the color – mine is black, not brown.

I have a TomTom 720 and was concerned with the suction cup mount on my windshield and would not use the GPS as often as I would like.
I ended up taking a roadtrip from New York to South Carolina and needed the GPS.
I found this item after some searching on Amazon and it works great! You just mount the GPS to the bag and it stays put regardless of cornering or abrupt stops.
And I do like that the charger has room to stay ‘in’ at all times so you never have to worry about it running out of battery.
Great product and I’d highly recommend it!
