Works well - Should be standard in Calif
| I have a Honda del Sol, and the friction mount works very well on the dash, never slipping around or anything. The unit doesn't jiggle around any more than with the suction cup. I read the Garmin blurb saying the suction cup mount was not legal in California -- it sure would be nice if they didn't sell the non-legal one. So the price of the Quest is actually $50+ higher than as it is sold here. The suction cup thing was a pain to get setup correctly anyhow. The friction mount is much easier to put in place, easy to grab the unit off the dash to push buttons, and the sightline in my car is not interfered with whatever with it. |

Does the job pretty well
If you own a Quest (the mount part is unique to the Quest, there are other mounts that seem to use the same base) this is the solution to not using the windshield suction cup mount. Using suction cups on car windshields is illegal in CA, as Garmin points out, and this is the extra cost solution. You'd think Garmin might replace the suction cup in CA, but not so. I think Garmin might make a stick-on mount, but I am not ready to stick this into my car and advertise that there might be a GPS unit inside for the taking.
