 Never had a problem October 11, 2008
M. J. Kennedy (UK)
We have two Tom Tom's and a Navman and have never experienced a single problem with screen holders; in fact I have never had one fall off ever. I keep the screen clean and never moisten the suction cup.
The Weakest Link: TomTom could easily do better September 18, 2008
Dan Smith (Leicester, UK)
The windscreen sucker works up to now for me, but I keep the inside of the windscreen scrupulously clean (a fag, since black dust collects on it all the time), store the sucker in a polythene bag to keep dust off, and breathe on the sucker to moisten it with condensation. But it's ridiculous to expect it to work forever even so. What it needs is cheap spare suction cups and one spare included with each new windscreen mount. Who wants to wait for a replacement when the first one stops working? Having to buy a whole new mount and a charger each time is ridiculous and environmentally unfriendly. Moreover TomTom don't let on that meticulous cleanliness is vital.
I wish that satnav manufacturers would devise a mounting system that does not show thieves by a ring on the windscreen or some other clue that they should smash a window to see if the satnav is in the glove compartment.
It's hard to imagine car manufacturers installing a standard socket for loose satnavs, since they probably want to end up installing their own OEM versions and make money on those. But I find portable TomTom satnavs better on the whole than the satnav fitted in a recent Honda Civic. Separate satnavs can have a much shorter product cycle, and a map update on the Honda satnav cost more than my TomTom including its maps. What's more, the map update for the Honda did not stop it giving daft directions at times. The TomTom lives by my PC when not in use and is updated all the time for free, but updating the Honda satnav is much harder and ridiculously expensive.
TomTom provide great value for money, but the windscreen mount lets down an otherwise great product.
 Totally useless September 7, 2008
Mr. S. J. Williams (London)
Even though I knew other reviewers had given this product a poor rating, I still bought it on the assumption that I could succeed where others had failed.
I couldn't. No matter how much a try, I cannot get the holder to stay attached to the screen for more than 20 minutes.
Totally useless - 1 star.
(Still can't figure out why TomTom aren't selling the same holder that came with my TomTom that did actually work.)
 Works fine August 21, 2008

This holder has worked fine for me. Start with a clean windscreen, moisten the cup a little, stick it on firmly, and it will stay on for ever. I've even used this holder stuck onto the speedometer of my motorbike (VFR800). The vibration and bumps are far greater than in a car, and it didn't budge.
The charger works well too, and so I'd certainly recommend this product.
Garbage May 6, 2008

Quite why anybody would pay 20 for the worst part of the Tom Tom experience is beyond me. These holders DON'T WORK!!! Tom Tom have developed the technology to locate you within a few metres anywhere in Britain, but they haven't worked out a way of keeping the thing stuck to your windscreen so it falls off every ten minutes. Utter rubbish.
