One of the main problems with the mount that comes with most GPS devices is that 1.) It never stays put and it always falling off with that stupid suction cup on the windshield thing and 2.) People who steal GPS devices know that you have one simply because of the mark that the suction cup leaves. This vent-mount does aaway with all of that, plus it doesn't block your view when you are driving. money well spent. -- Get's the Job Done

The mount is a quality product just not for the very large roadmate 1700. Even the factory windshield mount is not sufficient to hold that large gps still. I did however use the mount on my 2010 Tahoe and it was perfect for the Garmin by using the vent mount and Garmin holder.
The bottom line is, if your gps is larger than 4.25 inchs wide it will shake. Also the mount doesn't work on vents that pivot horizontally, such as many of the chevrolet trucks, unless you pin the vent by drilling a small hole inserting a very small very short nail to lock it in place. For a small gps I would rate the mount 5 stars but not for the 1700. I hope this review is of value to you. -- Just not suitable for the roadmate 1700

Using this on our roadmate 1700 with a 7 inch screen i thought the big unit would be a problem do to size and weight. I was wrong very nice worked out good.

Thanks
