Dashboard Tablet Mount

Newbie here, please be kind..

I want to use my 10" tablet for navigation purposes (waze or Google maps) but can't find a mount. I can't be the only one doing this, but I can't find a suitable product anywhere.

Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas!

Thanks very much Bookemdanno.. I'm hoping to find one that will be at dash level where both of us can view it. [emoji319]

Iottie uses a sticky gel that has excellent holding capabilities for my IPhone. I have bumped my head going to the back and the gel still held. Not sure if this is the right size but here is a link.

Do a search on Amazon for Soche Mount.
These are magnetic mounts, very unobtrusive, easy to use and incredibly strong.

Thanks BuddyRay, the power mount looks interesting but the devices mentioned are all cell phones. Am writing the seller to find out if it would work with my 10" tablet.

Can you expand on the 'sticky gel'? The product you sent would be perfect but for the suction cup. I've yet to see one that works.

It's a suction cup that has a sticky gel on the cup. The sticky part is reusable and leaves no residue. This is in my wish list for the tablet if I need one but I use the phone and don't see using my tablet in the RV or van. This is a great product and I have used one in all my vehicles for the phone. I wouldn't hesitate trusting it to hold my tablet if I needed it to.

Edit: mine are all stuck to the dash or overhead console.

Thanks for the details! I'll do some measurements in the morning and order one to try. Just for my information, what app do you use for navigation? Trip planning?

+1 on this, although it is actually spelled "Scosche" I use a Scosche mount for my Galaxy phone and it works great. Suction cup mount to the windshield, and magnetic mount for the phone is so easy. Well made and strong mount. Check online at Home | Quality car audio and mobile accessories by Scosche and you will find several options for tablets as well. Walmart carries some of these items, or just order online.

Thanks bank63.. someone else suggested Scosche and I've been on their website. I have to contact them to be sure my Galaxy Tab 4 is compatible.
