Does anyone know the difference between Gilsson UBM and Gilson UBM-1 mounts? I see Gilsson UBM and UBM-1 GPS beanbag mounts advertised on both Amazon.com and the Gilsson web site (www.gilsson.com). However, from the product descriptions I can't tell the difference between the two. I assume one is larger and/or heavier than the other, but can't confirm that from product descriptions.

Thanks monkey-man. That is about the same conclusion I came to after a lot of research.I contacted Gilsson customer service and was told they were the same. The only difference I saw in product descriptions on amazon.com was the shipping weight for the UBM-1 was 3 pounds vs 2 pounds for the UBM model. I ended up ordering the UBM-1 from a private seller ( fis4her_gps_gear ) who had the best price when priority mail shipping was factored in. Fis4her_gps_gear also said the UBM and UBM-1 beanbag mounts were the same.

Thank you all! After a lot of research, I couldn't figure it out either. Jerry Wiggins is right. At amazon.com the only difference seemed to be the weight. I appreciate all of your comments.

UBM and UBM1 are the same item. Navsphere had lowered the price on one item, in an effort to compete with a competitor with low unit cost + higher shipping cost. Either way, one pays the same cost.

I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s... I found that even the Gilsson website only had one product, but they used both names for it !?Finally, I decided to check prices for "used" & "new"... and found that both models were being sold for pretty much the same price after S&H; was added. So, I'm concluding that they are one-and-the-same.The low price of UBM-1 is pretty deceiving... 'cause the S&H; brings it over $20 total... which is about the same as UBM price range w/ S&H.; I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s...

I don't think they're too different, aside from weight limits. Although it's been years since I bounced on one. Hope that helps.

I do not know what is the difference between the two. Maybe one is a older verison (AQ-4000)? Hopefully, someone else can answer the question for you and me. ;-)

I started a discussion on another string about this topic. Best Buy's is a UL50AG-RBBBK05. Boes BBB stand for Best Buy? Anyway, Cnet reviewed this model and liked it except for its speed, which strikes me as geek-head complaint. As the last poster said, the RBBBK has a DVD/CD drive, which is essential, and is a very nice machine, but too large for me. Does anybody know if ASUS makes the exact same machine with all the same specs but just in a smaller (13.3) size, WITH CD/DVD drive? Sony has one, but way more expensive and no HDMI. Advice?

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.

I contacted customer service regarding this issue and they told me there was no difference between the two units. The numbers are different because they are marketed to different types of retailers.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

The difference is only weight capacity. DXPUB01 supports up to 300 lbs and OH/D01/N is 265 lbs. There are also 8 DXPUB01 on amazon that are available.

I have not found any other difference except these:BluetoothMSN Direct - you get this free for 9 months, it's then $50 for a year subscription but they are discontinuing it in early 2012. MSN Direct will tell you gas prices, weather, etc.GREAT PRICING on Amazon.com this morning (Black Friday) for $129.99!!! I'm thinking it's a possibility Garmin is discontinuing it. It doesn't appear as an item you can purchase on the Garmin website.

RAP vs. RAM modlels. I have both, and both have the same phone holder X arm looking thing. The RAP has a smaller suction cup, 2.5" vs 3", the RAP has a smaller and shorter control arm with smaller balls at the end of the arm. Unless you are needing one for something really heavy, look no further than the RAP model, those things (both) made by RAM are incredible and will last a life time. When I used an old 7" GPS that was designed for campers, I used the larger one. For phones and I use a Samsung Note 1, largest of phones, I use the smaller one and it is an overkill.

Hi! They are both exactly the SAME DESIGN - the only difference being the finish in the 312B sporting a synthetic woodgrain look (either the walnut or other 314B). Interesting enough, although the difference is by having just a layer of something wrapped or sealed into the resin, it's widespread knowledge that somehow the 312B and 314B with the synthetic woodgrain finish ACTUALLY sound better.I forget what the material is made of but if you touch a 302 and a 312/314, you will feel that the latter is cooler to the touch AKIN some metal low conductivity metal. But do not quote me on this. Hi! They are both exactly the SAME DESIGN - the only difference being the finish in the 312B sporting a synthetic woodgrain look (either the walnut or other 314B).

I doubt there is any difference. I bought this one and really like it. Would reccommend.

Yes it did come w the standard window mount but we had issues with parts missing. The mount actually staps in a clamp that goes on the GPS but our's was missing snd our USB Cord was also missing. After a couple calls to Anazon, they sent us a whole new box & mailing label to return the other one. After everything finally got settled, it is a great GPS. I think we just ended up w one that was returned. We ate very satisfied w it now. We bought the mount you put on your dash; I call it the bean bag mount and we like that it doesnt kerp it in the direct sun like the window mount does. My husbands uses it daily w his job and no complaints. Hope this helps. Yes it did come w the standard window mount but we had issues with parts missing.

Probably the difference is in the tabs. These two urls give you some info on the tab configurations and the significance of the letters. http://www.standardbatteryinc.com/blogs/batteries-101/11639085-battery-terminals http://www.standardbatteryinc.com/blogs/batteries-101/11786397-the-ub12180-battery The main difference is probably the terminal configuration. Did you specify a tab style?

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

From a connectivity stand point, there are no differences between the units. I have found the descriptions posted by Amazon can be very vague. I find myself needing to do more research before buying and usually on the mfg. website.
