Hi Alabama978
I can assure you that my 720 would not fit onto the beanbag when using the suction thingy that come packaged with my Tomtom device. However, I already owned another type that was far superior to the original one that came with my Tomtom and that fitted perfectly.
If I was you I would take my Tomtom to Halfords and actually try it on the beanbag before purchasing. By doing that you cannot go far wrong

Alabama978 was asking about the Arkon mount which is much better and has a cut out at the front.
I suspect it would work fine but not having one to hand to test I can't confirm.

Hi Darren
It was some months ago when I purchased my beanbag, in fact I cant remember for certain exactly where I got it from. Maybe the one from Halfords will turn out to be ok with the original 720 suction thingy, time will tell.

Sorry may have confused everyone. The Halfords one will definitely not work with the standard Go 520 or 720. I have decided to buy the Arkon and the adjustable mount because it is only 5 pounds more for the mount and beanbag.
Will report back. |

| Works ok with my TT One XL, it's a bit tight, but by having the suction cup as far back as is possible it gives just enough space to tilt the TT at the right angle. |

Hi 1952kev
‘Blue unplugged’ takes some beating when it comes to prices. You wont be disappointed.

Thanks Trevor.
I wish I had read about them and the friction mounts a couple of weeks ago when I bought an Arkon vent mount for the GO. It works fine but I think it may have to go on Ebay if the new one does the job.........  |
