Garmin Friction Mount
Best dashboard mount for drivers needing stable, hands-free GPS navigation.
This weighted dashboard mount offers a rock-solid alternative for states where windshield suction cups are banned. It sacrifices the sleek, low-profile look of a permanent install for a portable, gravity-based design that keeps your navigation clear and audible without any tools required.
