A Garmin GPS Suction Cup Stand Converted to Magnetic

For a long time I put up with the suction cup based stand for my Garmin GPS. It would lock onto my dashboard for a few hours but always seem to cut loose just as traffic became demanding. Today I finally decided to find a more reliable means of attaching the base to my dashboard. It locks on and releases using the same lever employed by the suction cup.

Neat solution if only more vehicles had any metal left in their dashes

The magnetic support locks into a steel disk 0.4” thick. It is glued to my plastic dash.

I was looking at it upside down I guess
