Suction Cup Base Mounting Options:

We currently offer three alternative solutions for mounting your suction cup mount in a location other than a windshield:

The Super Grip Non Skid Base with round plastic plate, is a weighted base that can be placed on your dash without an adhesive or drilling. Simply place the base on your dash, or any flat surface and then attach the suction cup to the round plastic plate. This is perfect when you want a temporary mounting solution but the windshield mount just isn't the answer.
The Suction Cup Adhesive Disk with round plastic plate, is a great mounting surface to attach the RAM Twist Lock Suction Cup. Simply stick the the plate to any flat surface and then attach the suction cup to the plate. This is perfect when you need to attach your suction cup mount to your car dash vertically or horizontally, rather than to your windshield.
The Suction Cup Drink Cup Holder with round plastic plate, is a great mounting surface to attach the RAM Twist Lock Suction Cup. Simply place the base into any cup holder in your vehicle and then attach the suction cup to the plate found on top. This is perfect when you need to attach your suction cup mount away from the windshield or when you just want the mount off the dash.

cam Winnipeg, Manitoba January 8, 2010	FITS PERFECTLY Pros: adjusts to any position I mounted this on my snowmobile (with the handle bar adapter). Due to lack of snow haven't had many opportunities to try it's ruggedness but it fit my Garmin perfectly and seems very well built. Time will tell if it stands up to our Canadian prairie winters. When used on a car windshield, it sticks like glue. Other products are interchangeable with each other so you can mix and match like I did. 3 out of 6 viewers found this review helpful.

Bill Yuma, AZ November 25, 2009	THE RAM MOUNT GARMIN ETREX COLOR SERIES LOCKING SU I purchase this mounting system for my Garmin ETrex and found that I could also use it for my Sat Radio. This is a great little system and I highly reccomend it. 9 out of 20 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

RS Ontario November 6, 2009	RAM MOUNT FOR ETREX COLOUR Pros: very stable Cons: only holds on window surfaces (at least for me) I ordered this so that I could stop fiddling with the GPS while driving (and comply with Ontario's new hands-free law). This mount is what I needed. VERY sturdy. Very flexible: holds the GPS at almost any angle. I wish it stuck to surfaces other than the window, but I think I knew that going in. GPScity shipping was very fast. I would order from them again. 19 out of 39 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

GeoJoe Edmonton November 2, 2009	LOCKING SUCTION CUP MOUNT Pros: great holding power, lots of mounting options Cons: none Was a little leary of suction cup technolgy given that they often don't hold their "grip" for more than a few hours. However the Garmin suctin cup has performed flawlessly and has held firmly in place since initially locking it down more than 4 weeks ago. It's still in place on the dash of my Ford F350 and holds like it's glued down. Fantastic results. 18 out of 36 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Mr CDN Vegas Calgary, AB September 10, 2009	STURDY GPS MOUNT Pros: very flexable Cons: little hard to get the gps back out of the cradle. Very happy with this mount. It can be moved into pretty much every position you could want. GPS cradle grabs my VISTA very tight. It will never fall out of the cradle. I tried it on both the window and the dash of my 1500 RAM driving off road. The suction cup is very good on glass and would not move at all. However trying to get "suction" on the dash (which has a bit of a texture to it) was ok but not as good as on the glass. The glass suction never let go even with a minor tempature change from over night to the morning. 32 out of 68 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Gaidheal PEI July 7, 2009	VERY GOOD MOUNT Pros: infinitely adjustable, substantial, works Cons: big. Apart from having to clear the mounting holes with the tip of a screwdriver (sloppy but inconsequential QA) this mount absolutely is fantastic. I got it to replace the horrible Garmin suction cup mount that vibrated, moved, popped off and required those horrible breaking clips. This thing is substantial! AND IT WORKS! Mine is stuck to an adhesive dish on the dash of my Jeep and hasn't let me down! Love it! I'm ordering another one for my wife. 28 out of 79 viewers found this review helpful.

Get Lost Vail, CO July 6, 2009	LOCKING SUCTION CUP MOUNT Pros: unit above suction cup is well made Cons: fix the suction cup it doesn't work Locking suction cup mount will lose suction and fall over with you GPS unit attached. 30 out of 80 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

snowfighter Monastery N.S. April 3, 2009	IT WORKS Pros: well built Cons: comes off window with change in temperature A good sturdy mount, perhaps a bit to sturdy. My biggest beef with it is when it is stuck on the window and there is a change in tempature from cold to warmer it falls off. 45 out of 118 viewers found this review helpful.
