After many hours of shopping for a GPS for my car I settled on a TomTom model XL 330 S. Being brand new to these navigation systems I didn’t think I needed anything more sophisticated. I think I made a great choice and I’m very happy with the brand and model I chose. What I’m not nearly as happy with is the TomTom GPS Dashboard Mount for TomTom GPS Navigators I bought at the same time. It looks like it’s made well enough, as it’s heavy and substantial, but when you try to attach the GPS’s suction cup to it to try to anchor the GPS to it, there is just no way! I removed the protective film that protects the surface on the mounting plate from scratching during shipment and cleaned the surface with an alcohol swab they include. I cleaned the suction cup on the back of the XL 330 and tried it again, no better result. I still am using the Dashboard Mount but now the plate which is attached to my GPS sits “under” the Mount as it is heavy enough to keep it from moving too far. A brick would serve the same purpose, but would scratch your dashboard and wouldn’t look as nice. Then again the Dashboard Mount looks kind of goofy too. The Mount is not a good/wise investment. rob

I love my dash mount for my Tom-Tom. Attachments to the windshield can leave that tell-tale “footprint”, an invitation to a break in. I grab the dash mount, I can put the whole thing in my trunk, under the dash behind a bag, nobody knows there is a GPS in the car. It’s easier to adjust for the proper viewing, and I find it much less obstructing than the windshield mounts.
