I dont care for them either.Don't have a photo handy but I have a basic 1" RAM mount on my dash, stuck on with 3m Heavy Duty mounting tape. That holds the GPS when I'm on a long trip and for around-town commuting, my phone.
I hate suction cup mounts. Always coming un-stuck at a bad time!
Nothing fancy but it works, I use my iPad for gps.View attachment 497254
It will vibrate and bounce a bit, nothing that bothers me or nothing that makes it hard to see my iPad. For less than $100 when I got it, I can’t complain.How steady is that mount? Get much bounce?
