The suction cup is aggressive. After contacting Tom Tom support, who fulfilled all my lowered expectations from dealing with them before, I searched and searched and searched for a replacement. Better, I think, than the original mount. I finally stumbled upon this mount at Amazon and ordered it.
I bought the original Tom Tom Go Plus GPS in 2005. The mount has two different wheels that you can use to adjust the GPS just right for driving. To get a charger cord with it is an added bonus. On a recent business trip to Seattle, my rental car was burglarized and the thief, seeing the suction cup mount for my Tom Tom thought I had left the GPS in the car, too.
It works perfectly. I couldn't be more pleased to not have to buy another GPS unit. I didn't, but the creep stole the suction cup and the charger cord, rendering me GPS-less for the rest of the trip. I bought something on ebay that didn't work, and a GPS specialty store sold me another unit that didn't come close to matching the Tom Tom Go base.
The thing works well, but I am concerned about its useful life. I thought the bracket would be manufactured differently than the original that broke too soon. It is the same.
The built in microphone is so clear that the people that I speak with using hands rarely know they are on speaker. Tightening up the adjustment fixed this problem, but it really needs to be pretty tight to avoid the flop. I received a GO 700 from my wife for Christmas and this mount has been fantastic. The one and only problem that I have had with it is the tilt adjustment (the one with 2 knobs) gave way once and the GO 700 flopped down a little. I like it so much that I am purchasing one more of these mounting kits for my wife's vehicle. I have been able to move it from vehicle to vehicle without any problems. It has never fallen off of the windshield and seems to be infinitely adjustable.
I purchased this device to use with a TomTom model 910 (purchased at the same time), to facilitate moving between vehicles.This particular unit will NOT work with model 910.
