Yes thisitem solve my problem where to place my GPS for aesy viewing and navegation
I do most of my driving on back country roads with lots of potholes and I dont feel that my Garmin 72 is really secured in it's mount because of all it's weight pivoting on that small piece of plastic. If I had seen the product first hand, I would not have bought it at all. Maybe for $10 I'll consider buying it again.
Under other conditions it probably would have been just right for the job. I had to the resort to the permanent mount which I really didn't want to do. If it gets very hot in the car the whole thing comes down. I would not purchase another one like this, even though it did the job. This unit is a very basic one that mounts on the dash or else where by adhesive patch. One patch is supposed to be a temperary one and that works just like junk. But that work just fine and was just used on a 2500 mile trip tp Yellowstone NP.
We are looking into our car charger to more fully explore the nature of the problem, but had i known about the "adjustability" factor earlier, i wouldn't have bought this item. No charge, no radio transmission. item fits all sizes of iPods, but it uses an adjustable arm to do so, which does not look like it will survive extended usage. The item doesn't even work, anyway. Fresh out of the box too.
I like the fact the holder comes off the base so it can be used in other vehicles with other bases. I've been using this mount in my car for almost a year now and it has held up well. I use it on a beanbag style base in my wifes van and that setup works good too.The reason the mount only gets four stars from me is the fact that it is difficult, and sometimes takes two hands, to put the GPS in and to remove it when using the cigarette plug power cord.
