One of the things I like about Garmin is the optional "beanbag" dash mount,
which for most (but not all) users works much better than the windshield
suction cup. (I don't know if there's a comparable mount for the TomTom.)


WRT mounts, I'm sold on the "sit on the dash with non-slip feet" style.
Keeps in reach for bluetooth (phone) or to check the traffic maps.


Wouldn't do for me. My dash has a grain effect so suction feet don't
work.

It also has a sloping dash. What holds the bean bag in place?

As for having something loose in the car. I have to bat apples away
from my face after they get loose from a shopping bag on the passenger
seat and start bounding around inside the car.
