nice item
We put this in an RV to hold the Garmin GPS and it worked great. You can turn the base to tighten so that it will not fall out of the cup holder.

This alternative to a windshield mount for Garmin GPS is well designed, but...
...sometimes a well-designed device still has shortcomings.A recent article notes that is is illegal in 29 states to mount a GPS on one's windshield. In a number of additional states, it is legal only in certain areas of the windshield, and only if the GPS does not block the driver's view. An alternative is to use a device to mount the GPS on top of the dashboard, rather than on the windshield, though this is also illegal in some states, either because the device might still block one's view or because anything on the dashboard can become a dangerous flying object in a collision.This cup-holder mount for a Garmin GPS therefore struck me as an ideal solution, especially when traveling in a rental car, where one can't install any semi-permanent, and therefor safe and secure, mount on the dashboard. And this device is well-designed and well-built--It has the mounting "ball" that fits into the back of Garmin devices, an adjustable 8 inch extension arm to raise the GPS above the cup holder, and adjustable rubber fins to secure the cup holder in place. The arm allows one to adjust the position and angle of the GPS for better viewing. Garmin GPSs are easy to mount on the device (but others will not be, unless they use the same ball and socket connection) and the device is solid enough that it ought to remain secure and unwavering even on bumpy roads (but see below.)However, I found two issues when using this device in my Toyota Prius. First, although the device is designed to secure firmly in the cup holder, it does not do so in my car. This is because the Prius has fins inside the cup holder so that it can grip different sized drinks, and these fins prevent the GPS mount from fitting securely inside. As a result, I found the mounted GPS to be a little unstable, though still viewable under ordinary driving conditions. Of course, this issue may not occur in cars with a different cup holder design.But second, even with the 8-inch extension, the GPS sits far enough below the windshield that It may be dangerous to take one's eyes off the road to look at it. Using the mount would still be safer that just setting the GPS in the cup holder without the mount, or holding the GPS in one's lap. And since all the Garmin's I've had give directions out loud, one might not have to actually look at the GPS that often. Moreover, the distance one has to look away to see the GPS will be less for those who are shorter than I (I am 6'3") or who own cars with a higher center console than the Prius.Of course, neither of these issues is entirely the fault of the device manufacturer and they may not occur for everyone. Even with the shortcomings, I am likely to travel with this mount when I expect to be renting a car, as it could work quite well in some vehicles. It will fit in my carry-on when I fly somewhere on a trip, though it will take up about as much room as a small thermos. And it will alleviate my concerns about the legality of other kinds of GPS mounts in some states.

Just okay
Liked that I can use it for my GPS. However it is a little small for the cup holders in my Transit Van. And would be nice to be able to turn the base in order to accommodate the adjustable base.

Easy to install and works with various cup holder sizes
The media could not be loaded. I bought this mount as a backup to the suction cup mount that I have on my windshield because sometimes the suction cup mount fails.It comes in handy a lot when I need to use something bigger than my cell phone, (such as a tablet or GPS).I have 2 different cup holder sizes in my car and it works in both. It’s easy to install and remove and it’s pretty durable.The mount works at various angles and the overall design is good. I’ve used several phone holders and this one has stood the test of time.

Buy something else better
It lasted 2 months at the most. Plastic parts broke to pieces. Hard to tighten and loosen to cup holder when its flushed. And still wobbly in cup holder. Adjustment should be above the cup holder. Didn’t hold my Garmin GPS up, ball is on the smaller size. I would not recommend buying this product. Wasted $20 in buying this. I dont know why it has 4.5 stars and people keep on buying this product. Will buy one thats easier to loosen and tighten even if it cost a little more and probably last longer too. U get what u pay for i guess.
