Garmin Friction Mount

I have just bought a Garmin Friction Mount for a friend, and when it arrived it is totally different to the friction mount that I have, and the one illustrated on the web site. I 'phoned the suppliers who told me that this is the new mount supplied by Garmin. Anyone know if this is true?

The mount that I have is often referred to as a "bean bag" mount, and this is what I wanted.

This is the standard Garmin friction mount Laughing

Does the one you purchased look like it Question

No, mine is the same as that. I was told that Garmin had replaced that with this new mount. It is described as a friction mount.

I've got both ("bean-bag" & "grippy blob) for different cars. Both work fine in my opinion, but the newer one is easier to conceal/carry!

A word of warning about the newer gel-bottom "beanbag" mount. If left in one place for a few days in very hot weather, it can leave a stain on some dash finishes. The newer gel base does offer better grip tho.
