Great solution to my problem
This mount works perfectly with a Garmin nuvi 885T in my 2007 Mini Cooper's passenger cup holder. I did not want a windshield mount or a permanent mount, either of which would advertise the presence of a GPS, and I had tried every other possible way of mounting it (visor mount had bad angle & I couldn't plug unit in; vent mount didn't fit curved vent; lighter mount didn't power GPS properly - but might have worked on a GPS without a traffic transmitter; my own home-made cup mount was too wobbly). This cup mount is adjustable in fitting the cup holder, and the goose neck is adjustable for height and viewing angle. It fits securely (no wobble). It's removable, and holds GPS at the height where I like it: just above gear-shift level (bottom of GPS sits approximately 7.5 inches above top rim of cup holder), so it's easy to see without having to look down too far, and doesn't interfere with any car controls or displays. (You could adjust it to stand lower,if you prefer, but probably not much higher.) I will say that it does squish down the cup holder's internal rubber fins that hold a drinking cup in place. I don't know if the fins are permanently squished or if they'd eventually resume their original shape (I suspect they would recover). But I didn't care about that since I rarely use the cup holder for drinks, and I have a second cup holder. Mount comes with adapers for other devices, which I can see would be easily interchangeable, but I've never used them.
Works well
I am using this with a TomTom GO 720 and it works really well for me. The expandable base fits in the cup holder snugly. The arm is a little stiff but still quite adjustable.
The only concern I have is that the adapter just loosely hangs in place. Once I put the TomTom back in its case, I need to make sure that I don't misplace the adapter.
not so "universal"
This is a good idea, but our cup holder is not solid, just an arm around the top of the cup. The insert doesn't work with this one because there is nothing for the expander to expand against. Bummer!
