Recent reviews for this item: Ara, August 31, 2011 That oone is very nice. Pylet, February 24, 2010 I purchased this unit to mount my SPOT Satellite GPS
Messenger unit in my Piper Cherokee airplane.
I selected an area on the lower left part of the aircraft's
windshield to attach the suction cup base. With the
flexibility afforded by the two ball joints, I was able to
position the unit so it received the GPS signals plus it
allowed me to access the power/message buttons to operate
the unit and also monitor the indicator lights.
I've "test driven" the unit in my car to see how well the
RAM suction cup holds the unit to the windshield and have
subjected it to some pretty rough railway crossings and
washboard roads. So far the suction cup on the RAM mount
has outperformed the "stock" suction cup holder I received
with my automobile GPS. The automobile one continually
failed to hold the auto GPS to the windshield in spite of
the fact the auto GPS is a lot lighter than the SPOT unit.
From those experiments, I am confident the mount will be
able to function properly in any turbulence I might
encounter while flying. spender, January 18, 2010 I have used these for my SPOT and GPS in my truck and Boat
with good results. I was unsure if they would hold tight
on logging roads or rough water but I have not had a
problem. As long as the windshield is clean it seems to
get a good suction and hold tight. Gordon, January 13, 2010 1. the distance between the suction cup and the holder is
such that the total distance from top to bottom makes it
difficult to attach to windshields that have any degree of
slant to them.
2. There needs to some method to get a better suction to
adhear the cup to the window.
