Question: Has any one used this with a beanbag / sticky pad dash mount? and had any one used it as an extended if you make the lever all the way out?
Document: I bought this to replace my original GPS mount, which fell out of my car. This one is better in every way. The suction cup sticks a lot better but is still easy to remove, and the fact that it is easily adjustable makes it very convenient. I haven't used the adhesive disk that came with it - I think it's for the dash - but on the windshield it works wonderfully.
I bought the Garmin Nuvi 350 in March '07. I'm an occasional GPS user and not a road warrior. The Garmin mount was sub-standard in every way compared to the Arkon model. The Garmin mount would constantly lose suction and fall from the windshield (I had to loop the power cord around the rearview mirror so that when it did fall it would be dangling and not crash on the dashboard/floor).I have not used the adhesive disk from either Garmin or Arkon for dash mounting.
I have purchased two of these G.P.S. holders.I like the way you can adjust then to go lower on your dash giving you a clearer view of the road. the down side is you have to stick the pad down on your dash. thay seen to fasten to the pad well, but do come off once in a while but I have the 5&#34; garmen that are heaver then the smaller ones. all in all I would buy them again.

Everyone who has stated that this mount is better than the one that originally shipped with their GPS is right on the money. This suction cup holds much better than the original did, but still comes off easily when I I need to take it down. The way it adjusts is very good, you just need to make sure to have it mounted straight so the up and down adjustment is actually up and down and not at an angle.
I Love this mount  lot of options with this one , I used as a dash mount too hang 1/2 over the edge of dash.Nice big disc to give you a little wiggle room.
Hello,My original gramin nuvi mount/holder broke, got this as a replacement and never had an issue.Fits my gps very snug.Fits on the dash or on glass very very well, very sturdy, no problem, adjusts better then original garmin one, holds the weight of the gps way better because of the adjustable clamp.Get it, you won't regret it.Cheers.
The sticky stuff on the bottom of the pad has been letting go recently because I had to stick it to a curved surface- there are no completely flat surfaces to stick it to in my Prius! The suction cup has been holding up well and has not let go once yet.
This Garmin GPS mount is terriffic! It holds very well on either the windshield or dash. Just remember to use an alcohol pad to clean off the area before using and it will stick without fail. Very happy with this purchase.
I had to use the pad to get this to work on the dash of my HD Road Glide. It stuck like glue. At idle my bike shakes the Nuvi up and down badly, to the point you can't read it. This mount wont let go.
This works well with both of our old cars. The '59 Lincoln has a dash that we can't suction it on, but it stays on the curvy window like a champ. Even the past two days of extreme heat haven't phased it. I'm just going to toss the one that Garmin sent me that always falls down. This is way better. Do yourself a favor and do the same.
Answer: This mount is a suction cup type device for smooth surfaces.  It is not made to use with a beanbag or sticky pad. The long arm is adjustable and will accommodate different angled smooth surfaces such as a window or dashboard display.  Also,the suction cup is somewhat larger than the Garmin OEM suction mount so it stays attached much better.
