| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | The Nav-Mat is the most convenient mounting accessory for your portable GPS today. Using the physics of weight distribution along with high tech anti-skid materials, it creates a solid mounting base while turning your windshield mounted GPS into a dash mounted GPS.The Nav-Mat conforms to the contours of your dashboard, allowing it to work on uneven or textured surfaces while the anti-skid underside keeps the device from sliding. Designed to work with devices up to several pounds using the windshield suction mount sold with most popular GPS units, the Nav-Mat requires no tools for installation and can easily be moved from vehicle to vehicle or put out of sight when exiting the vehicle.Also works well with other Bracketron Windshield Mounts for mounting devices such as Satellite Radio, Cell Phones and MP3 Players. | |

| I love it and don't even have a GPS | |
| | OK, that's not really true. I bought it for my old car where I was using a GPS with a mounting bracket. My new car has a built-in GPS. However, I still use this on my dash as a place to hold coins, my cellphone, or anything else small that I want to have accessible and keep from rolling around. It may be worth buying even for just that.

| | This is definitely THE mount to purchase for your GPS unit! (And if bought at the same time as your GPS, Amazon offers unbeatable deals on it.)
Mine is used with the Navigon 2100MAX widescreen GPS - in a 1996 Buick LeSabre and a 2000 Dodge Ram Pickup, both of which have 'challenging' compound-curved dash tops. It has been put through its paces over the past few months - everything I can throw at it - and it absolutely DOES NOT MOVE from where you plant it. Its 'staying power' is far superior to any suction-cup mounts I have ever used, and is also better than some 'hard-attached' mounts I have experienced. About the only thing that might dislodge it, I've concluded, would be if you overturned the vehicle - in which case, GPS damage is the least of your worries.
I rate this as THE 'Must Have' Accessory for your GPS investment - great 'insurance' against damage to your GPS unit. Also, unlike ANY other mounting method, it allows for an infinite range of 'fine tuning' to get the position of your GPS display 'just right' for you. It works so well for the GPS mounting challenge, that I plan to get a second one - to take care of the equally perplexing Cellphone mounting challenge.

| | Works well for most but not all units | |
| | On my truck dash, the GPS will stand on the mat without hitting the window; on my car with steep slooping windshield, I have to tilt the GPS stand to avoid hitting the windshield. So, check how your unit bends, how it adjusts, and measure your windshield. The heavy "Tilt" to my unit to avoid hitting the windshield causes the unit to lose some satellite tracking ability in my view.
Does it move on the dash? Nope, rock solid. Great idea, my unit (Pharos) tends to fall off the window so the mat is the answer. My next GPS will be tested to see how it will fit mounted to the mat.
(nice to see the price cut down to $14)
| | works well, larger than expected | |
| | The Nav-Mat arrived quickly and it works well. My only complaint is that it is larger than I expected but there was no size given in any description I could find. It is larger than needed for a Garmin Nuvi GPS.
I store it in the top center dash compartment in a Subaru Forester and I have to store it upside down with the beanbag sides squashed in quite a bit.
