The Garmin Portable Friction Mount is an accessory designed for use with a variety of Garmin GPS receivers. It is placed on a car's dashboard and holds the GPS in place to facilitate use while driving. It resembles a bean bag in appearance.

"The friction, or beanbag, type mount may not look as sleek as the windshield mount, but local laws and/or criminals may dictate that you use one. The mount can easily be taken off the dash and hidden under the seat when parking. Plus, you don't have to worry about melting the rubber mount in a hot parked car."GPS Magazine: Don't Like the Windshield Mount?... (August 17, 2007)
