Nuvi 660 and Bracketron Nav-Mat Mount

 

Does anybody use a Bracketron Nav-Mat Pad, in lieu of Garmin's Bean bag thingie, to mount a Nuvi 660 on the dashboard?

If you do, what's your experience? Worth the $$?

... not quite ...

It still needs the vehicle suction cup mount... not too reliable in the long run, according to many posts... still recommending Garmin's "El Baggo del Beanos"... I have it and love it!

I second that -> Amazon is having it for $28 + free shipping (already bought 2 of them); do a search for 010-10908-00.

I love mine. I fell in love with this type of mount when it came with my Street Pilot 2720. I got really tired of having a $700 Nüvi fall to the floor with the supplied suction cup mount/cradle. Plus, the bean bag mount can be hidden and leave no trace of a GPS, aka the tell tale "ring" from the suction cup. At under $30, it is an inexpensive investment to prevent breaking my Nüvi's screen...

The mount is very solid and does NOT slide around at all. At first, I thought it might slide since my 660 is much lighter than the 2720, but the bean bag is so heavy that it didn't make a difference.
