Will a 5-inch Magellan Roadmate 5045-LM fit in this visor shield? How does it fit in the original dash holder or one of the bean bag holders?

it is size specific... it fits my 7" Garmin like a glove... it will not fit a 5" screen... [perhaps they make another size specific version]... I use a beanbag mount and it works just fine and I like the product and would recommend it for the 7" application...

Not sure the visor will fit a GPS with 5" screen as it fits perfectly on a Magellan Roadmate 1700 with 7" screen. The mounting mechanism for this visor does not interfere with the GPS' original mounts. Hope this helps.

As far as I can tell it holds any 5 in GPS. There's an assortment of adhesive patches you can use to position it so that you're not blocking the sound/ventilation (if any) or power/use buttons. That makes it pretty convenient to use for about any style of 5 in GPS. Be warned though, the glue on the adhesives is not happy in direct sun or a lot of heat. Neither are most GPS's for that matter. At any rate, if on the dash, you'll want to move it so it isn't in direct sun.

Get the 'bean bag' dash mount that Amazon sells - worth every penny! http://tinyurl.com/nzzcrvx

I don't know how large your GPS is But my experience is with a 7 inch GPS the handstand are fine. I've got 2 of them both are 7 inch the one in my Miata works just as well as the one in my wife's car The issue I had with mine was the suction cups were failing allowing the GPS to fall off of the handstand,,, so I glued it, that cured the problem. Now it's great

I thought I'd read that CA amended that rule in 2009 and drivers could use mounts as long as they were clearly on the left half of the windshield? Might want to look into that.Regardless, the best friction mount I've tried (and I've tried 4 now) is the Gilsson found here:Gilsson UBM Portable Car Non-Skid Friction Beanbag Dashboard Mount for Garmin, TomTom, Magellan and moreIt's a bit ugly, but it's very flexible and heavy where most of the others are inflexible and too light to really do the job.

Oh, and it has a case that is not a slim one. No problem with that. I have a 2006 4 Runner SUV and there is no slipping of the holder on the visor

this works great with the Nuvi. The one I have came with a "cradle" that snaps right on to the "ball" part of the mount. My GPS is older so it is small enough that the adjustable cradle that came with the Amzer mount would work fine also. I love this dash mount

Yes, fits nicely. Only drawback is it will NOT fit most dashboard mounts for GPS purposes

I just tried my spare visor and it did fit and I can zip it up, but it is tight. If I were getting a tank bag for a spare visor to fit in, I would get one a little larger. Hope this helps.

Best suggestion is to go buy your actual gps mount piece that will fit onto the ball. My beanbag stand came with a clamp but broke with 48 hours cause its a universal clamp n didn't firmly hold my gps! Hope this was helpful! The money u saved by buying the beanbag will easily cover the price of the correct clamp to go on the ball!

Thanks Arthur--I'm wondering if this holder will work with my iphone 4 which has an Otter "Defender" case which adds a bit of thickness (a plastic case and rubber over-case). I already got one holder (Tomtom) where my iphone 4 won't work, so am hoping to find one that will. Thanks, jc PS. Also do you think this holder would work with the Portable Friction Beanbag Dashboard mount (Gilsson)

Yes; the bean bag sits on the dash and it is positioned so that the weight of it stabilizes the mounting device and GPS. The comes with a friction type or ball type of mounting hardware that holds the GPS in place. You MUST be sure that your model GPS is compatible - the models are listed in the product description.

Yes it will fit but this one is cheaply made and sags and won't hold gps tight. Go with a different one.

yes the case will fit - you have to really extend the case 'bunji' cord attachment to close it with the nuvi inside. Yes the mount also fits perfectly - but you have to have the bracket that game with the nuvi. that fits into the mount to display the nuvi.

Can your holder support my tom tom gps? The one that comes with it always falls off window and dash board. Can anyone tell me if it works well for a gps holder?

I have a dodge caravan...my window is very large...it will fit any visor, but if u have a large window u have to reverse it ...pull down the flap of of your visor and it works perfectly....I use it everyday because I'm always forgetting my sunglasses....
