" ... Easy to transport between vehicles, no suction cups! ... "
" ... Works great on paved roads, however moved all over our dash on the country dirt & gravel roads. ... Highly recommend if using on paved roads - soooo much better than the suction cup mounting on the inside of the windshield ... "

" ... No suction cup but a secure moint. ... "
" ... The window suction mount that I had before never lasted. ... "
" ... The suction attachment that came with my Garmin never stuck well on my windshield. ... "

" ... I don’t have to worry about the suction coming off the window since it has a sturdy base instead. ... "
