I have so far not had a problem using the Nav-Pack either at the far side up against the driver's side windshield pillar, or in the center of the dash with nothing else around it.The Nav-Pack is a bit bulky and the real downside is that it adds further visual interference around the GPS, about 1/2 inch on each side, plus the vertical rise from the dash. My car has a textured dash that actually slopes downhill to the windshield. I think it is likely a function of the dash slope & dash materials.
Doing so may inhibit your ability to easily switch back and forth with a different kind of mount. This allows me to use the Bracketron Nav-Pack while still able to convert back to the TomTom flexible goose-neck suction-cup windshield mount. WARNING: This product asks you to adhere a Velcro patch to the back of your GPS.
This solution may not be feasible for most other people.Some reviewers complain that the Nav-Pack slides off the dash. At the center of the dash I found this unpleasant, but it was acceptable when all the way to the driver-side pillar.For the around-town, in-your-own-car person this product is of debatable use, but for a traveler who flies in and rents a car elsewhere frequently, it's a good combination package. The Velcro is what holds the GPS inside the Nav-Pack, so it's necessary.
I nearly returned the kit immediately when I discovered this; instead, I was able fashion an acceptable solution by reworking an old bracket for a different, unused mount I already had and applying the Velcro to this.
This does not reflect on the actual product but rather on the function given where we had to place it. We returned this and did order a similar mount that we had before. Our GPS and Mount were stolen and we had to replace all of it so we tried new products. This Dash Mount is a great Mount if you have the proper place to place it on your dash. We did not have that so it bounced and was crooked most of the time.
Whenever you make a turn it slides. Do not waist your money in this piece of junk. It does not stay on top of the dash-board.
I wouldn't use it for everyday use, but great for travel and is easy enough to hide under the seat or in the glove box when the car is parked.I do have to open the case when going through airport security. I travel quite a bit and this has been very helpful.
Very good protection for GPS and easy to store in in this very nice case.
