Non-windshield mount for TomTom 920 I'll be driving in California later in December and will need to mount my TomTom 920 somewhere other than the window. This is in a 2006 Camry Solara, which doesn't have the 'flattest' of dashes.What other options are there? I followed the link on TomTom's site and the custom ones there don't put it the GPS in a nice line of site for either convenient looking or for using the bluetooth phone feature.Something that would clip into the dash vent would be nice as long as it were sturdy and secure.

I ended up taking back the TomTom when the Garmin 680 became available and am using the Garmin friction pad. That worked great on our long trip, and it sits really well on the console during night driving when there'd be reflection on the windshield.

I have tried the clip on ebay mount w/ no luck. I saw a SOLID, GOOD alternative to the $70 Proclip but I didn't bookmark it and I cannot find it on Google. Any ideas? I'm about to return my Tom tom, since if falls onto the floor every 5 miles.Thanks

proclipusa.com for brodit mounts.A cheaper solution can be found for a clip-on vent mount thru ebay.com. Just do a search for Go 920 vent mount. Should cost about $20

I used mine with a TomTom XXL 540 and the GPS was too heavy for the mount.It shook and vibrated enough that the image was always blurred and hard to see.Then again, what is annoying to me may be acceptible to you.I figured for 10 bucks, what the heck.You can check the weight of your unit versus the XXL540 as I am not familiar with every TomTom model.I hope this helped.

I did a lot of research on the GPS navigation devices available from 4.5" to 7". I tried all of them that had demos in the stores and had owners I knew let me work theirs. I found it to be a matter of personal choice as to what one likes or dislikes. Also, one can read through Amazon's and others customer reviews. I like the features of the TomTom devices. I've owned a TomTom 4.5", two 5" and now the VIA 1605 TM 6", which I would not trade for any other one. Do your research looking for the one that has the features you like and meets your needs. Keep in mind that those who own other brands are just as passionate about theirs. bob

The sticky mount attaches to the foot pad making it impossible to use it on the windshield. BUT if you attach the sticky mount to a flat disk and attach that to the dashboard you can mount the car phone holder to either the dashboard or the windshield.

It doesn't come with a car mount accessory however I'm sure you could probably write to TomTom as they probably sell an adapter kit. Great product though, you will love it!

Yes it can be mounted on the windshield. Mine came with a windshield mount but I had to replace it. This is a minor issue though compared to even though I purchased lifetime maps the garman nuvi 465LMT is not up-date-able. Garmin is made by Asus computers I have three Asus computers and none of them will connect with the 465LMT it actually made my laptop crash. Also I found that it isn't any better than the google maps navigator in my cell phone, neither are that good so if you're a trucker you will need to plan your long distance trips and even make calls to DOT of the states you're passing through to make sure that the bridges and roads are 18 wheeler friendly.

See my review. View all of the reviews and search for the keyword "windshield," a friend and I went to a car junkyard a few months ago with his tactical pen and we tried busting out of a Toyota Camry with this. I use the word windshield a lot in the review so you should be able to find it.

I mount my TomTom to the dashboard mount using the Windshield Suction Mount that came with my TomTom.

sjg, I bought one of these for my car about 5 years ago. I live in Florida, lots of sunshine and UV rays, okay. We keep our car in the garage whenever we are home, but we travel alot. That was excellent, it did the job as far as holding our sucktion cup GPS in place. But the stickem on the bottom of it would only stay stuck to the dash for 2 or 3 days. I knew I was going to keep the car for at least 2 or 3 years, so I bought the smallest quantity of "Garolia Glue" that I could find, put 3 tiny drops on the bottom, let it set overnight, and it has never come off again. 5 years and 55K miles later. Good luck, I am glad I bought it, and would do the same thing again. It was "THE" answer. sjg, I bought one of these for my car about 5 years ago.

I have no idea. I only have a TomTom. You could probably ask the manufacturer.

I'm not sure I understand but I'll tell you what I know; my Lifetime Free Traffic thingee does not have a "USB". It plugs into the bottom of the TomTom and the car (power) plug. Unlike the other answer I've had no problems with my TomTom and have found them very helpful the couple of times I've had questions. I have owned one for years and have had no problems. The only thing I would suggest is not to whine the cord tightly after use it will last much longer. I love my TomTom and have been very happy with it. When I do download new maps their program automatically backs up what is on it before putting new maps on. The TomTom USB connector for the computer is normal size.

The TomTom does not appear to have much memory capacity to add maps over the installed USA/Canada map. It also does not have a card slot which the Gramin has. For this reason, it seems to make sense to get the Garmin if you are going to use extra maps. Does this make sense?

It has a suction cup and an adhesive tape to use for the dash or windshield. It also has clips to clamp onto the a/c vents. So there are 3 ways to use the mount. I wanted to attach to my a/c vents, that's why I bought it. It works ok on the vents, just needs stronger vent clips. Otherwise works great for mounting to windshield or dash. Clips aside, the quality and features are very good.

It might be, it looks like you might be able to add a ram ball mounting plate to the back of the GPS mount (at least one bolt or screw). This is a great mount that I use for my Amateur Radio, it rarely comes off the windshield.

You can stick the "black round thing" anywhere on the dash board. Then you can attach your garmin mount like attaching to windshield. Make sure you decide where you want it on the dash board (once you stick it, it is kind of stuck there for ever). Remove the thin film on the white tape (hard to remove). Once removed, it's very sticking. Before sticking it on the dash board plan ahead. Good luck!

this is just a mount and it doesn't attached herself to your dashboard but it is kind of solid on the windshield. It's something you can put a radar detector on is not a radar detector.
