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.

So does mine, and the mount works perfectly. It doesn't have suction feet.
It's a bean bag with a rough rubber sole.


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

Friction between the rubber bottom and the dash.
