I have tried numerous options and devices to keep my mobile in front of me while driving for use of google maps navigation. Most the devices either were not able to hold mobile phone well, or were placed in non ergonomic location. This one fits all the checks and boxes. It sits right in front of you above dashboard so that you are not distracted while seeing navigation deirections. Now the Google map navigation is in your default field of view. It holds the phone well. Rubberized layer prevent scratches to your dashboard.
