Product Description
The Nav-Mat is the most convenient mounting accessory for your portable GPS today. Using the physics of weight distribution along with high tech anti-skid materials, it creates a solid mounting base while turning your windshield mounted GPS into a dash mounted GPS.The Nav-Mat conforms to the contours of your dashboard, allowing it to work on uneven or textured surfaces while the anti-skid underside keeps the device from sliding. Designed to work with devices up to several pounds using the windshield suction mount sold with most popular GPS units, the Nav-Mat requires no tools for installation and can easily be moved from vehicle to vehicle or put out of sight when exiting the vehicle.Also works well with other Bracketron Windshield Mounts for mounting devices such as Satellite Radio, Cell Phones and MP3 Players.

5 out of 5 stars works great   November 19, 2008

This item was purchased with a magellan GPS unit. The GPS units windshield mount fits in the base of the Bracketron. The dash pad is a few pounds and the GPS unit doesn't slide around even in a panic stop.


5 out of 5 stars good GPS mount   November 19, 2008
Sally boy (Staten Island,N.Y.)
I used this Dash Pad for the first time on a trip from New York to Florida in my 2008 Honda Accord with my MIO C520 GPS & it worked great. It didn't move around on my dash at all. It's amazing how it stays on the dash. I've used it now for about 3 weeks & I have no complaints.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent dash mat for GPS   November 19, 2008
C. Gradis (Playa del Rey, CA United States)
I use this mat with my Garmin Zumo 550. The Garmin came with the stick on disc but I didn't want to affix anything permanent to my dash. This mat holds the Garmin securely and doesn't move around as I drive. This mat is also the least expensive I could find. I highly recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent bean bag for GPS!   November 19, 2008

Stable, easy to use, excellent design - what else can I say about a bean bag for a GPS? It's the most practical way to mount a car GPS without bothering with suction cups. It only takes seconds to hide away the GPS when parking in a public place, move it to another vehicle, or put it back in place for operation.

I used a GPS bean bag for the first time when renting a car at AVIS and was very impressed by its practicality and flawless operation (believe me - no matter how hard you turn that corner, that baby stays put!).

Steven W. Bienefeld (Hooksett, NH USA)
This product is working as advertised. There is no problem keeping the suction cup from the mount attached firmly to the pad. The pad itself stays planted where ever I put it on the dashboard. Add in the great price (a little more than a third of retail stores), and I'm extremely satisfied and highly recommend this product.

The Benefits Of A Car GPS System
By Andrew Winthorp

Driving from point A to point B has gotten much easier over the years, as tracking technology like GPS (Global Positioning System) brings the added convenience of many different capabilities. When looking to purchase a car GPS system, a new world of easier traveling, enhanced safety, and property protection becomes accessible. To fully comprehend the many benefits of car GPS, consider the following:

Lost on the Road?

When written directions are no help and you find yourself traveling a dark, intimidating road that doesn't look too familiar - one of the best benefits of car GPS comes when you are able to find your way out of the darkness. All of this is made possible with a technology that enables you to pinpoint your exact location and then use a tracking system to create a course to follow that gets you where you need to go. Many users simply use GPS to create a mapped-out plan before taking to the road and running the risk of getting lost.

Safety and Protection

In this day and age, you never know when you will become a victim of a crime, such as car theft. When criminals are aware that a GPS tracking system is installed on a vehicle, it makes drivers less susceptible to this illegal act, which sometimes involves violence. If you have found that your car has been stolen, a GPS tracking system can aid the police in locating your car in less time by pinpointing the exact position of your automobile - no matter where it is.

Depending on the kind of GPS car system you choose, various features are included. Some consumers enjoy built-in roadside assistance, monitoring services, and access to emergency help. Certain models of in-car systems are automatically keyed in to alert the nearest 911 operator if an accident should take place.

Small Size and Ease of Use

The benefits of car GPS systems are connected to a small unit that easily attaches to your windshield or dashboard. Following the directions of a GPS system for the car is rather easy, as you input your desired location and wait for further instructions that deliver turn-by-turn commands given by a voice in real time. Now days, it is quite common to see rental agencies installing GPS in their vehicles to entice their customers. Also, if a rental car is stolen, GPS easily finds it without losing any time.

Save Money

The benefits of car GPS systems also places more money in your pocket, as some companies are now lowering the rates of car insurance for drivers possessing this added advantage. Companies are now acknowledging those who purchase a car with this type of system already installed, as well as offer savings to those who have GPS car tracking installed after the purchase of a new or used vehicle.

In the long run, you stand to save money when buying a GPS car system even without the car insurance discounts. Consumers spend less money on gas when they are aware of their exact positioning on the road, and have the means to quickly get where they want to go in less time and without wasting gas.
