The screen does vibrate just a bit when going down the road, but nothing major. I have it sitting on the dash of an Armada, inside a slightly crevassed area just to the right of my steering wheel/main console. It sits perfectly, so I can see it with my bi-focal sunglasses and still clearly see the road. I have had no problems with it sliding off or tipping. It has a locking mechanism at the bottom, which I cannot slide over to lock the mount connection because the Garmin GPS is already wedged so tightly into the beanbag mount; no big deal though...doubt I would use it anyway, I don't see the need since it fits so securely without it. It is a well-made beanbag mount that I think will last a while and I got it for a great price here on Amazon.

There's no wobble, no shaking and easy movement when you want it. <br /> <br />The only downside is that it does not come with a small necked cradle for the garmin, and I had to buy the rubber legged dash mount (which wobbles terribly on the dash) because it had the suitable cradle. <br /> <br />Other than that, this is the mount for your Garmin; you'll never want another one.

Allaho Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:44:55 +0000 http://military-id.com/garmin-beanbag-for-portable-friction-mount-for-garmin-gps-units/#comment-789 The holder that came with the GPS is the suction cup that has to be stuck on the wind shield or a smooth surface. The problem is that the suction cup was black plastic that after some time it will get dry and stop working. That's why I bought this one. You can put it anywhere - on the dashboard on the chair next to you. The good thing is that it solve the problem, I have only one setback, it is a bit chunck!
